Patty Murray actually said...

I'm going to be in this game because I don't think my veterans should get less services in a very tough part of our state.

I adamantly believe that the VA has an obligation to reach them with high-quality care.

I want to make sure that the VA is keeping Washington State veterans and our VA workforce, many of whom, as I said, are veterans themselves....

A reduction of inpatient services is just a complete nonstarter for me.
