A veteran deserves the very best health care anywhere. That means sometimes, they should go out into the private sector if something's being done better than the VA.

I don't believe that the problems in the VA are necessarily about money. When I look back over the problems of the VA over the past decade, this is fundamentally a system that hasn't kept up with modernization in the way that the rest of health care in the private sector has.

Obama is from this group that resents the private sector, resents the capitalistic means of production.

We are a system where I can tell you that nobody is doing more for behavioral health care in this country than the VA.

There are fewer people living in tents, more people with access to quality health care, more kids who are in school, and for the first time in a long, long time, Haiti is attracting private sector investments.

When I was in the private sector, I found it immensely useful to go out and talk to customers and co-workers.
