WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Clay Higgins, R-LA, issued the following statement regarding President Trump’s executive order to improve accountability and protect whistleblowers at the VA.
“The President’s commitment to increasing accountability and holding VA employees to the highest standard is a much-needed change. We owe the brave men and women who have served our flag the finest healthcare in the world, and the care that they have received is an embarrassment. I wholeheartedly share the President’s commitment, which is why I’ve introduced legislation auditing the Veterans Health Administration to protect the people’s treasure and ensure greater accountability within these important programs.”
