But the secret waiting list, I mean here is what I saw at one facility.

How do we restore the trust that we can actually believe the data you are presenting to the committee?

I can articulate over and over again the expectation that we are not going to tolerate that behavior.

What we heard from whistleblowers is... we get an email once a year that says we have a right to whistleblow.

How do we restore that trust if we don't know the extent of the problem?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Appreciate your continued leadership on so many issues and appreciate the opportunity to question the acting secretary.

I just had a case of a gentleman that would like a shingles vaccination... but the VA cannot quite figure out how to work in that system.

We should be able to by giving veterans a choice in keeping their needs in mind first of all.

This data may have been manipulated. That may be inaccurate.

We're not for certain, but we think it's not quite fixed yet.

What you are being told by the VA is whitewashing the situation.
