Recent discussions in the U.S. House of Representatives have focused on accountability within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Representatives have criticized the VA's conflict of interest policy, calling out companies like McKinsey for prioritizing profits over veterans' safety. Efforts are being made to address loopholes that allow VA staff to evade accountability for misconduct. Additionally, there is a push for accountability regarding sexual harassment within the VA, with Representative Bost leading the charge. The House Republicans are investigating whistleblower allegations of harassment and misconduct within the VA's HR office, emphasizing the importance of accountability for veterans.
As a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee, I asked HHS Secretary Becerra about the excessive overpayments and denial of care with Medicare Advantage. Because of our continued commitment to this issue, I’m happy to say that Secretary Becerra is looking into it! https://t.co/Sk2qfdvTVL

VA staff shouldn't be allowed to resign or retire to evade accountability for their misconduct. Our veterans deserve better than that. I urge my @HouseVetAffairs colleagues to support my bill that will close bureaucratic loopholes and hold VA personnel accountable. https://t.co/4hVdgxK6QY
.@DeptVetAffairs' insufficient conflict of interest policy has allowed companies like McKinsey to put their bottom line above the safety & wellbeing of our nation’s heroes. Our veterans should always be top priority. I'm proud to join @RepDavidValadao to get answers from the VA. https://t.co/yz7qs4ZRZB
