RUSH EXCERPT:

SHULKIN: "We are definitely committed to a system that gives choice to veterans. What we’re trying to do right now is to build a system that’s based on the clinical needs of veterans. That’s the way every health system in the country works and our veterans deserve no less. Right now we have administrative rules that veterans have to fit into. And we’re committed to taking the administrative complexity out of the system and giving it back to veterans and to providers just the way that when you and I go to a doctor, we get our care."
