Denis McDonough: “But, generally speaking, what I would say is this is something the President is watching.”

we are tracking with each of our visits, at the VISN level, what their spend every month, what their enrollment is every month, and what their FTE count is every month.

We had a very good couple of years hiring. I just said that we hired, net, 14,000 nurses in the last two and a half years.

We take great pride in the fact that we send a package to that family within 10 days of the death announcement.

I have seen this personally myself, including with a Gold Star mom and a Gold Star wife.
