Congressman Bob Latta (R-Bowling Green) released the following statement in regards to Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary, Robert McDonald, comparing wait times for VA health care to Disneyland.
"The United States is fortunate to have the toughest and bravest men and women in the world serving in our Armed Forces, fighting to protect our freedoms. They have made the ultimate sacrifices and it is imperative that as veterans they are provided the care and benefits they have earned in a timely and quality manner," said Congressman Latta.
"Secretary McDonald's comments are completely unacceptable and further demonstrate the Obama Administration's lack of willingness to solve the overarching issues at the VA. Meanwhile, Congress has and continues to pass bipartisan legislation to improve VA wait times, strengthen its electronic health records, and eliminate bonuses for senior administration employees. We will continue to do so until every veteran is properly taken care of by the VA."
