Denis McDonough: “What we see in reaction to the recommendations so far, good and bad, is a desire for more access to VA healthcare.”

We should be able to watch this develop and be in a position to make sure that we have the people and the space to take care of those vets.

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 want to make sure that we compete for the veterans' care, and we can compete on quality, and we want to make sure that veterans know that we're invested in their quality.

That's a major help to us.
