I think we’re making massive progress in how we diagnose things, but also how we do new treatments, which in the past was more of a wait-and-see approach, and now we’re being more cutting-edge.

Let's put veterans in the seats, making jobs safer and better for all Americans.

We’re not going to balance budgets on the back of veterans’ benefits.

Veterans spoke, and [VA] listened.

Look, long-term healthcare, whether it's inside our own facilities or with community is something that this country has to look at.

“I appreciate that, Senator. It's always good to visit with you, my former colleague in the House.”

“each investment is tied to a concrete improvement Veterans will notice: shorter waits, better coordination, and more consistent access to both VA and community care.”

“I appreciate that, Senator,” concluded Secretary Collins. “It's always good to visit with you, my former colleague in the House.”

“We're committed to making that happen in the areas that we can.”

“We’re going to look into this. […] Look, long-term healthcare, whether it's inside our own facilities or with community is something that this country has to look at.”

As we enter a new era with a renewed focus on domestic energy production and growth, this legislation delivers the tools that our country needs to build faster, smarter, and safer.

The Democrats’ government shutdown is limiting services for Veterans and making life miserable for VA employees, and things are only going to get worse as time goes on.

It’s time for Democrats to stop using the suffering of Americans as political leverage to give free health care to illegal immigrants. I call on them to open the government and enable VA to provide the complete and comprehensive services…

VA is working hard to fully implement the many provisions of the Dole Act. We're excited to offer this expanded benefit, which better supports Veterans who choose to spend their final days at home, surrounded by their loved ones.

The reduction-in-force, or layoff plan, has been put on hold.

When you open new facilities, you open them in phases.

taking care of our veterans was my only concern.

all eligible veterans will always be welcome at the VA and will always receive the benefits and services they've earned under the law.

The department’s history shows that adding more employees to the system doesn’t automatically equal better results.

We have been emphatic that we will not be cutting benefits and health care, only improving them, and I think the budget shows that.
