David Shulkin, M.D. is a nationally recognized physician who has spent the past 30 years leading health care systems and creating innovations to improve them. That was until, President Obama tapped him to come fix the Veterans Affairs. In 2015, Dr. Shulkin was confirmed by the United States Senate as VA Under Secretary for Health. In 2017, President Trump nominated him to be a member of his cabinet as the Ninth Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs and he was again confirmed unanimously by the Senate.
Passionate about helping Veterans and reforming the VA, Secretary Shulkin worked tirelessly on behalf of our veterans and was making significant impact until he was fired by a Presidential tweet in March 2018, on the eve of one of the biggest bills to be passed.
