Eric Shinseki: “Too many veterans wait too long to receive benefits they deserve. We know this is unacceptable...”

I do not think any veteran, whatever the condition, should have to wait that long in any of our facilities, whether it is an emergency room or a clinic.

No one who has served this Nation should ever find themselves living without care and without hope.

I expect our employees to provide the highest quality, safest care we can provide.

Providing quality, safe, accessible health care for our veterans who have earned them is a core mission.
