Veterans are sounding the alarm as the federal government pushes forward with a controversial $5,000 annual cap on allied health services — a move critics say will cripple access to essential care for those who served. Advocacy groups, after being denied an initial meeting with Minister Matt Keogh, pressed their case forcefully, calling the policy “unfathomable” and accusing the government of breaking promises made during opposition. While officials claim the cap aims to save $700 million and curb overcharging, veterans fear it could lead to tragic consequences, especially for mental health and suicide prevention. Skepticism runs deep about whether the Department of Veterans Affairs can manage the cap without devastating care outcomes — and many feel betrayed at a time when support is most needed.
