Denis McDonough actually said...

I have been given a clear mission by President Biden, to be a fierce, staunch advocate for veterans and their families.

The statute is clear on this. It says that best medical outcome for the veteran is the objective.

The Constitution actually divvies that up quite clearly for you all and for the Executive, in Articles I and II.

I promise to fight every single day to ensure that our veterans have the access to world-class, compassionate care that they have earned.
