Vice-Chairman Bilirakis Statement on Robert McDonald as VA Secretary
Statement
Issues: Veterans Health and Health Care
Representative Gus Bilirakis, Vice-Chairman of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs, issued the following statement about the nomination of Robert McDonald as Secretary of Veterans Affairs:
"The problems at the VA are very serious, and they are negatively impacting Veterans across the country. Veterans deserve timely access to quality care, and in many cases, that isn't happening right now. It is my hope that Mr. McDonald's nomination will be the first step on the road to bringing back accountability and transparency to the dysfunctional agency. The VA needs to be about protecting and caring for the Veteran, not the bureaucrat."
