David Shulkin: “We have to rethink our effort.”

VA OIG reports 'must be accurate,' 'must be fair,' and 'must be objective.' This report is none of those things.

It is my hope we can work together to ensure talented medical professional remain in the VA to deliver quality care to our veterans.

Slowing down and pausing to see what the consequences are, even if they are unintended consequences, is important to do.

I wasn't willing to do that. I don't think that's the right thing for veterans and I stood up against them.
