David Shulkin: “I have no interest in privatizing the VA. I am interested in using our resources to help veterans.”

Veterans come first, absolutely.

We think that VA offers tremendous training opportunities, and, frankly, it is in our interest to train these students.

The VA has a responsibility to increase its capacity for substance abuse.

I do believe that our unions are productive partners with us, and I do really appreciate the collaboration that we have because I believe that they care about getting the right services to Veterans.
