What I want veterans to know is that VA is here to care for them. VA is a good system - health care wise, safety wise - highly comparable to any other system out there. Our oversight reviews tell us that. I'm very comfortable in the quality of our system.

The gross national product includes air pollution and advertising for cigarettes, and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage.
