"This place is terrific," said Kerry about the West Roxbury VA Hospital. "It does a good
job, but like many places, they are strapped by funding, which we have been fighting for
each of the last few years, and hopefully now, the administration will understand that this
is a priority and they'll get the job done."
Just last week, Kerry said he spent some time at Walter Reed.
Kerry said he found the VA hospitals do provide a good quality of care, but they are
strapped for funds. According to Kerry, the Senate has passed a move to increase the funds
to the hospitals, but it has gotten "lost in the shuffle."
"If we make the funding available, I believe we can achieve what we need to."
