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 America’s Veterans, families, caregivers and survivors have earned.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

Year after year, the calls for VA reform come from every corner.

I will not let you scare my veterans.
