UPDATE: KUSSMAN CONFIRMATION SAILS THROUGH

SENATE VETS' COMMITTEE ON VOICE VOTE -- Confirmation

of Michael Kussman for VA Undersecretary for

Health now in hands of full Senate.

 


Dr. Michael Kussman before Senate Vets' Committee.

http://www.vawatchdog.org/07/nf07/nfMAY07/nf051807-4.htm


On Wednesday, May 16, 2007, the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs held a confirmation hearing for Dr. Michael Kussman to be the VA's Undersecretary for Health.

This week, the Committee passed Kussman with a voice vote and sent the confirmation process to the full Senate.

We do not know who voice-voted "YES" or "NO"...but, it is safe to assume that some who had opposed Kussman in the past have "changed their mind."

Kussman has been part of the problem at the VA for too long. He should not be confirmed. Kussman has not sought more funding for VA healthcare and continues to insist, like Secretary Nicholson, that the VA is well-staffed and well-funded.

Now, the full Senate, most likely, will confirm Kussman based on the Committee's action.

If you feel, like I do, that Kussman is not qualified to hold this position, please call your Senators today and urge a "NO" vote when the confirmation comes to the floor.
