Taking stock of the Department of Veterans Affairs

Michael O’Hanlon hosted Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.) and Rep. Tim Walz (D-Minn.), chairman and member of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs respectively, for a conversation that highlighted both the strengths of and the challenges to the VA. The congressmen offered innovative policy recommendations for improving the Department and together they noted that they intend to be both the VA’s staunchest supporters and harshest critics.
