Changing VA Motto
“The VA motto is a direct quote from President Lincoln’s 2nd inaugural address, ’To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan.’ Critics have said the motto needs to change to be more gender-neutral and reflect higher rates of women veterans using VA facilities across the country. Secretary McDonough has committed to changing the motto sometime this Spring. Do you support changing the motto, or keeping it as-is?”

The VA Electronic Health Records Management
The VA Electronic Health Records Management (EHRM) system was designed to streamline patient care, creating a single record for a service member from boot camp to post-service veteran status. But the system has experienced glitches resulting in 148 instances of patient harm while only operating in a few VA facilities, with revised cost estimates up to $50 billion over 28 years. Should the VA EHRM rollout to other VA facilities remain paused until improvements are made and certified, or cancelled entirely - forfeiting the billions of dollars already spent on the program?
