So my feeling is, and I share your concern, I do not want to go backwards on this, and so we are going to have to approach this in multiple avenues and ultimately make sure that we get the most direct way for a veteran to get an appointment.
Shulkin reassures that improving veterans' appointment access is a priority.

I came to Washington with the commitment to make our system work better for veterans. That's the commitment that I went to work every day. I continue to feel strongly about that. There was no reason why I would resign.
Slowing down and pausing to see what the consequences are, even if they are unintended consequences, is important to do.
I believe strongly, Anderson, that when it comes to V.A. and national security, we can't make this a political issue.
It is my hope we can work together to ensure talented medical professional remain in the VA to deliver quality care to our veterans.
