Robert Wilkie: “The price of freedom is visible here.”

That is why I am for choice. That is why I am for giving the veterans freedom to choose, to opt out of a system that may not be working for them.

Let's not be so arrogant that we think we can build a mouse trap from the Federal Government from Washington that is going to satisfy the customer.

Now more than ever we are seeing the need for DoD and VA to work together to provide quality care for the Nation's Service members and Veterans.

You have passed the Accountability Act to shake up complacency, and you have passed the MISSION Act to strengthen VA's ability to ensure Veterans have access to the best care available when and where they need it.
