Vice-Chairman Bilirakis Statement on Robert McDonald as VA Secretary

"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."
