Eric Shinseki: “The Constitution is very clear about tasking us to make the hard decisions to cut programs.”

The issue here is no one should have to wait for mental health care.

a veteran, no matter where he or she lives, deserves to have access to the best health care we have in our system

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.

When Secretary Shinseki came in, one of the first things he directed as the Secretary of Veterans Affairs is directing us to build a full inpatient medical facility.
