On Health Care: The VA is just as good or better than private health care

David Shulkin, Trump's nominee to lead the VA, in the past has stressed an urgent need to hire more caregivers. "We have 45,000 job openings. That's too many," Shulkin said. "I need to fill every one of those openings in order to make sure that we're doing the very best for our veterans." Shulkin said the VA performs as well or better than private health care systems, but he said that long before he was asked to join the Trump administration.
