Kuster Can Either Protect Veterans or Protect Her Political Career

WASHINGTON – At today’s Veterans’ Affairs Committee hearing, Annie Kuster can either be part of the problem or part of the solution by demanding accountability from President Obama and his Administration.

At the committee hearing entitled “Data Manipulation and Access to VA Health Care,” Kuster will have an opportunity to hear testimony from members of the Government Accountability Office, the VA Office of the Inspector General and the Department of Veterans Affairs. This hearing is in direct response of the Veterans Affairs Hospital scandal in Phoenix, AZ, that left 1,700 veterans waiting 115 days for their first appointment and 40 veterans to pass away while waiting on a “secret wait list.”

“At today’s hearing, Annie Kuster has the ability to stand up for veterans across the country and demand accountability from President Obama and his Administration or fall in line with her fellow Democrat allies and support the Administration’s failed programs,” said NRCC Communications Director Andrea Bozek. “New Hampshire veterans deserve a Republican leader who will stand for veterans and demand answers from President Obama on this latest scandal.”
