May 6, 20255:48Now PlayingAt a Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee oversight hearing with U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Secretary Doug Collins, U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), a senior member and former Chair of the Senate Veterans’ Committee, pressed Secretary Collins on how the Trump administration’s mass firing of VA employees is hurting veterans’ ability to get the health care they need—from increasing wait times at VA facilities, to creating new risks around the deployment of the Electronic Health Record (EHR) system to additional VA Medical Centers, which the Trump administration is insisting on moving ahead with despite persistent and unresolved issues at the sites where it is currently deployed. Murray also pressed Secretary Collins on new policies the Trump administration recently rolled out that severely limit Congressional engagement with veterans and VA for no legitimate reason.
