Wasserman Schultz Statement on Secretary Shinseki's Resignation

05/30/14
 
WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) issued the following statement today after Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki resigned from his position:
 
“I believe that Secretary Shinseki's resignation was the appropriate course of action at this time. I thank him for the commitment he has shown to our nation’s veterans and for his decades of extraordinary service to his country as a soldier, public servant, and leader.
 
“This isn’t about one person and the change in leadership at the VA must be accompanied by the added resources needed to provide our veterans the care they deserve, particularly in the area of mental health. I look forward to working with Interim Secretary Gibson as we address the systemic problems that plague our VA system.
 
“The right to quality, affordable health care is one that should exist for all Americans, including the more than 30,000 veterans living and working in my South Florida district and the millions of their fellow servicemen and women nationwide. We must continue to work to fulfill the promise of honoring our commitment to the brave men and women who have served their country because failing them is not an option.”
