David Shulkin: “It is our task now to come up with a long-term solution that gives veterans the care they deserve.”

I think you are absolutely correct. It is why we have had a 90-percent reduction on new starts in opioids because we are using a different approach.

We are following the Federal contracting rules and regulations, and we are trying to do this as quickly as we can.

I am confident that we made the right decision here, that Congress has been asking us, for now 18 years, to find a way to get our systems to work together with the Department of Defense.

We need to be doing more of this in alternatives.
