David Shulkin: “turn the VA into the organization veterans and their families deserve, and one that America can take pride in”

This is a tough job for anybody to do. What the successful secretary needs to do is to build a team around them because this is bigger than any one person, and to work very collaboratively with veteran service organizations and Congress.

This is critical to us and our top priority to reduce veterans' suicide.

We are putting the Veterans' needs first and the money follows.

There is no pressure to privatize. There is pressure to fix the system.
