Shulkin says he has White House approval to root out 'subversion' at VA
Source: The Hill
Veterans Affairs (VA) Secretary David Shulkin has the White House's approval to root out agency staffers who oppose his policies and defy his leadership, he told Politico Tuesday night.
Shulkin’s new chief of staff, Peter O’Rourke, is reportedly meeting with each VA staffer who is believed to have gone against Shulkin or pushed for his ouster.
“Those who crossed the line in the past are going to have to be accountable for those decisions,” Shulkin told Politico.
He did not specify how many people were involved in what he called “subversive events,” but multiple appointees have reportedly defied his orders and pushed for his ouster as head of the VA.

I would guess satisfaction with the care we Veterans receive at the VA is about in the 90 percentile range. The people whom Shulkin want to purge are people whom are our healthcare advocates.
Shulkin want to privatize our care, and frankly, those of us whom would still receive care, would not receive the same level of care that we do now.
