Robert Wilkie: “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…”

What choice means is giving those veterans and their family caregivers the opportunity to engage with VA any time of the day.

I commit to accountability and transparency and will work with our partners in Congress, VSOs, and Veterans to ensure all veterans receive the care and benefits they have earned.

If we believe in the concept of the total force, then it should be much easier for a servicemember to move amongst Guard, Active, and Reserve components.

I am opposed to the privatization of the Veterans Affairs Department and will continue to make sure that VHA is fully funded.
