Shinseki reassured that health reform won't undermine veterans' healthcare.

HUD-VASH is probably the most versatile housing tool we have today, and it allows us to take care of not just veterans, but veterans with families and children.
Joining forces has been a magnificent initiative--reaching out to the private sector for corporations to commit to hiring veterans.
This is not a once and done, or whenever we have a crisis, we do. This is an ongoing set of looks at ourselves.
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.
