Old warriors affairs (VA) Amin Doug Collins clapped in critics who accused him of circulating “fake news” about the management of government efficiency in the Trump administration, which unusually affects the care of old warriors.
Collins, who is still an active colonel in the US Air Force reserves, announced that his agency opens what will be the fourth new VA clinic in the few months that he was in office.
“As heads of government unions and old media, some of them in Congress, they spread false rumors of health care and benefits in the Ministry of Old Warriors Affairs, we have opened many new clinics that will serve tens of thousands of old warriors,” Collins said in a statement.
“Do not believe fake news.”

On Friday, the Ministry of Old Warriors Affairs opened a new clinic in Hamilton, Montana, on the occasion of the fourth of this tape since President Donald Trump took office less than two months ago.
Previously, Collins supervised the establishment of a new clinic in fast-growing Sputselvania, Virginia, between Washington, DC, Ricche Over, Virginia, as well as in Ura, Colorado, and Reedgo, Queens, in New York City.
An official in Montana Virginia told Montana's public radio last week that Collins was clear that there would be “discounts” on services despite the Doug's attempt to take an ax to the bureaucracy – and with it many. VA staff.
The 8000 -feet updated attachment is 600 % of the previous clinic now ended in the region.
Meanwhile, the new Spotsylvania facility is larger in the country, according to the media in the Friedrichsburg region.
An estimated 35,000 patients can be seen every year on the new site, as the 95 and US-1 highway diverges south of the city.
While VA is preparing to reduce 15 % of the workforce through DOGE's efforts – from 471,000 to 398,000 – repeat Collens to Fox News that there will be no interruption, decline in services or care quality.
Collins responded to a warning from Senator Elissa Slinin, De Mish, who said that such discounts would harm the service to the old warriors and that the thought is a “bad idea” that should be “from both parties.”
Quoting the government accounting office (GAO), Al -Amin said that at least all parties should agree that the Ministry of Old Warriors Affairs has witnessed its services “of great danger” for waste, fraud, ill -treatment and insufficient care.
“I was four weeks here, but it is interesting that there are no solutions suggested,” Collins told “Fox & Friends” last week.
“President Trump brought the change of generations to the capital. He says let's look at everything. So what we are looking for is, if our system is on a high risk list, if we have issues and everything that the government decided to do recently money or people in something, then we may need to ask the best question – do we use our resources wisely and we are to ensure that our department takes care of simulation, which is the only responsibility for us?”
Other liberals differed due to the proposed cuts to the employees of the Ministry of Old Warriors, including Senator Bernie Sanders, I-VT, a member of the Senate Health Committee.
“They will carry out the old warriors affairs channel, and they are at risk of the health and welfare of millions From the old warriors“Sanders recently claimed.
A Democratic warrior in Congress, MP Molton of Massachusetts, said he visited VA regularly on a personal level and sees waiting lists and knows how the process could be annoying.
“All this will get worse,” Molton told MSNBC.
Collins said Trump has set a goal to reduce strength, and that Democrats do not understand that the expected employee numbers are part of a “deliberative process that will take some time.”
“This will include VA profession staff. It will include senior executives,” he said.
Collins said that the government accounting office had obtained its highly dangerous list for a decade, but now only Democrats in Congress “screaming” do nothing. “
