David Shulkin: “We kept the veterans foremost in our minds, not ourselves as politicians or the press or somebody who wanted to play…”

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.

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

We just have to do more.

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