Congress should continue its oversight and hearings to stimulate VA and DoD to improve their policies and practices for MST care and claims compensation.
I do not think any veteran, whatever the condition, should have to wait that long in any of our facilities, whether it is an emergency room or a clinic.
We have hired--we have over 100,000 veterans as part of our workforce, fully 30 percent, and our goal is 40 percent.
