"The VA is firing many of its blue collar workers, and replacing them with private contractors without going through the competition process that Congress has called for again and again."

"The system must be designed to maximize earned benefits for veterans, not to minimize compensation awards."

"By providing a fully-integrated system from the Veterans Health Administration to the Veterans Benefits Administration, we could make VA run more efficiently."
