As our conflicts overseas come to an end and hundreds of thousands of veterans are coming home, it is clear that the demands of the VA have been enormously stretched. However, that is no excuse for the VA’s atrocious mismanagement nor the extensive problems we see at the VA today. We have a responsibility to our veterans to make sure they receive quality health care at every facility, and it is essential to uphold that commitment. In order to make sure our veterans receive the care that they need and deserve, the VA must be comprehensively reformed. Any failure on the part of the VA to care for our large veterans population is simply unacceptable. That is why I am pleased that many of my colleagues have come together in a bipartisan way and recognized the urgency in making sure our veterans have immediate access to the services they need. I thank Senators Sanders and McCain for their leadership and their work to find balanced solutions to begin fixing the VA’s numerous inefficiencies. I will continue to closely monitor the VA’s implementation of their reforms as well as all internal investigations conducted by the VA.
