my own senator chris vaughn holland is not here but on his way i'm sure. labor has no better friends defending what the va does as our nation's heros. welcome to my brothers and sisters from organized heros, i know all stand in unison opposing the trump administration disaster policy towards the va, i know that all of us. like a third of the va employees i myself am a veteran and i say that va is the finest public healthcare system, not just in this country but worldwide. a leader in care, a leader in training and research and innovation, a leader in compassion but president trump, the va leadership, federal workforce like never before. this is unprecedented. they want to do nothing more than seek laws into the va's 300 billion-dollar budget and funnel that money to the corporate health care. now we know that's not right. is that? they want to give it to private entity thes and put ahead of well-being of veterans and we will not the stand for that. veterans serve the best health care possible and we are here to make sure that that does not go any further.
