Caring for our nation's Veterans is the highest honor and privilege for the men and women who serve them at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Our mission is to provide timely access to earned health care and benefits for millions of Veterans. That is a responsibility that we do not take lightly. Over the past several months, it has become clear that we have fallen short when it comes to timely access to care.

As we acknowledge areas where more work is needed, we also need to set the record straight when our work is unfairly mischaracterized. One such ...
