Eric Shinseki: “transparency is an important aspect of our being able to establish and retain trust in this department.”

I assure them that at VA our experience is when we diagnose and treat whatever the issue is, but even PTS or PTSD, that people improve and that they should not let that be a barrier to them making a hiring decision.

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.

The President believes in Veterans and their families, believes in providing them the care and benefits they've earned.

Too many veterans wait too long to receive benefits they deserve. We know this is unacceptable...
