Washington, D.C. - Congressman Dave Loebsack released the following statement today after it was announced that Robert Petzel, the Veterans Administration's (VA) undersecretary for health care, has resigned.
"I have been extremely concerned about the reports that have recently come to light of alleged preventable deaths and subsequent cover up at VA health clinics. As a parent of military children, I am incredibly upset that this could have ever happened to the men and women who honorably served our nation. We owe it to our nation's veterans to do all we can to determine exactly what happened and we need to do it immediately."
