WASHINGTON – Congressman Steve King released the following statement after Secretary of Veteran Affairs Eric Shinseki announced his resignation:
“General Shinseki has lost the confidence of our veterans,” said King. “I thank him for serving our country. His replacement will need the maximum authority to reform this government run Healthcare system.
I have long supported giving our veterans a healthcare credit card they can use anywhere. This will inject competition into the VA. We have thousands of excellent and dedicated healthcare workers in the VA. We also have a preview of what a microcosm of ObamaCare looks like. If government can’t fix the VA for our veterans, how can government manage healthcare for all Americans?”
