Eric Shinseki: “This budget request is VA's plan for meeting our obligation to all veterans of all generations.”

I ask the Committee, and the rest of Congress, to help us by resolving this fiscal impasse now.

If you don't like change, you'll like irrelevance even less.

The President fully supports veterans and their families, and by providing them the care and benefits they have earned, we pay tribute to the sacrifices that veterans have made for this Nation.

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.
