Veterans deserve effective and dependable health care

Q: How would you characterize government investment in health research for military veterans?

We must look at increasing efficiency and reducing redundant law enforcement functions currently spread amongst an alphabet soup of different agencies. This will allow us to reduce unnecessary bureaucracy while at the same time increasing productivity and streamlining operations.
