dr. shulkin is not new to the department.e served as under secretary of health during tumultuous times. how can he serve as the fixer if given control over the va? >> i think that's the question. when i want to be reassured from dr. shulkin, we met earlier this week in my office, had a fine conversation. but i want to make certain the va will be led in a way different from what we have seen in the past. it will take significant shakeup at the va because i think we have been looking the necessary leadership to change the bureaucracy and culture of veterans affairs. it always had its challenges. it's a big bureaucracy that has lots of men and women to serve. but the reality is in recent times it seems as if the drive and motivation to get things right diminished. i attribute that to the bureaucrat i ca --bureaucratic . way too many veterans are falling through the cracks and there has been a lack of accountability and lack of motivation or drive to make sure no veteran doesn't receive the care and treatment he or she deserves.
