Phil Roe: “The six million veterans served annually by VHA deserve the high standard of patient care in the nation.”

The law states what we must do on 1 August. It is not an interpretation.

Every American should have that experience. We all need to be reminded that the freedom we enjoy is because of the brave men and women who serve in our Armed Forces.

It makes me proud as an American to see our country treating this generation of veterans different than other generations.

If we don't get this right, you and I need to go in the witness protection program, and I hope they hold a couple of spots for us.
