President-Elect Trump is first and foremost a business man. He expects results. If he does not get them to his satisfaction, he will hire someone to deliver them. If this current nominee does not, he will be out the door.
The one thing I heard that is being ignored is there is going to be a group of doctors from the finest hospitals in America working with him.
Let’s wait to see what the reasoning is here
Very bad idea. I don’t like this.
Shulkin is an MD and former head of Atlantic health systems. Wiki says:
***Atlantic Health System (AHS) is a not-for-profit private healthcare company that operates hospitals and health care facilities in New Jersey. The president and chief executive of Atlantic Health System is Brian A. Gragnolati,[1] and the chairman of the Board of Trustees is Robert Toohey.[2]
Atlantic Health System received given an “A1” rating by Moody’s Investors Service in 2009.[3]
In 2012, AHS listed 11,624 employees and 3,123 physicians. With 1,315 beds 70,743 admissions were registered.
In 2013, the company was ranked 49th among Fortune’s list of “100 Best Companies to Work For.”[4] In 2014 they were listed as 25th,[5] in 2015 they were ranked 39th and in 2016 they were ranked 79th.[6]***
President Elect Trump gave an outstanding press conference! I am so proud to have him as OUR president!
Good afternoon.
I definitely appreciate your concern.
Methinks if Shulkin doesn’t do his job (which I can report), Mr. Trump will fire him.

I am amazed that at this point in time, you all still don’t have any faith that Mr. Trump knows what he’s doing. How about wait and see?
It might work. I’d rather get somebody OUTSIDE the “washington bureaucracy” to run it though.
Better still is to take all the money and give it to the vets as vouchers. let THEM spend it where they CHOOSE to spend it.
I am a vet. I don’t use veteran medical services.
That said, I have learned that many veterans use and are highly satisfied with VA services (from studies, and from several friends), but that some have awful problems with the system.
I am giving Trump the chance to get it fixed. He said he interviewed many people.
Trump probably feels this guy is most knowledgeable, and best qualified to get the job done.
Surprised and disappointed too, but Trump loves the vets.
I do not see these as Trump hanging them out to dry.
If this guy does not meet Trump’s expectations, look for him to be a short timer.
Trump may have picked him because of his knowledge of the system.
Drivelous Bull crap
Your opinion is just crap
LOL! He knows what he's doing and will get his agenda followed by them. What's with all those who jump at every opportunity to express their "concerns" about Trump?
They are the real disappointments, especially the ones who don't seem to
They are usually referred to as "concern trolls".
From the nominee’s background it appears to me that lots of vets are going to be going to private doctors.
I would hold back judgment on this guy for a while. Trump’s picks for staff seem to be awfully good.
I would add that if you don’t look like or work like a private sector health administrator you are probably gone.
The rate of appointments for VA docs is just 40% of the private sector. That will change.
Geez people STOP with the knee-jerk reactions.
This is NOT the guy that was in charge for a long time under Obama- he is relatively new- maybe Trump thinks he knows what he is doing.
I trust Trump to pick/keep good people and fire them if they don’t perform.
I am willing to wait and see. I am guessing that if the guy does not perform will trump will get rid of him,
