Doug Collins: “I'm the Secretary of VA, and I'm telling you right now, that's not happening … the reality is, veterans benefits aren't…”

Veterans spoke, and [VA] listened.

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.

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 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.
