Mike Coffman: “These bills are intended to heighten the protection for our veterans and improve services provided by the VA.”

You have had very, very positive things and intuitive things that you have done for not only constituents in your district, but across the entire country.

You will never change the culture of bureaucratic incompetence in the VA unless you are willing to look through those 400 positions.

I think the notion that we're still at the point where neither DoD or VA has taken the lead--and I think that one of them has to have ownership for it.

The fact is, GEO is not cooperative, and so we have an incident here. There could be other incidents down the road.
