David Shulkin: “Thank you for helping us enact the Veterans Choice Program Improvement Act.”

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

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

How could you argue against wanting veterans to have choice and the best type of care?

Delays, as you know, can prevent a veteran who may be ready to confront addiction from actually seeking treatment.
