On Friday, VA opened a new clinic in Hamilton in Montana, marking the fourth such cutting of a ribbon since President Donald Trump took the duty just under two months ago.
Previously, Collins supervised the establishment of a new clinic in the rapid growing Spotsilvania, Virginia,-Washington, DC, and Richmond, Virginia, and Iu Aurora, Colorado and Ridgewood, Queens, in New York.
Montana Va official said last week in a public radio in Montana that Collins was clear that there would be no “cut” service, despite Doga tried to take the ax to bureaucracy – to many many many Your employees.
The 8,000 square meter plant is 600% higher than the previous, now defective clinic in the area.
Meanwhile, the new Spotsylvania object was prepared as the largest of its kind in the country, according to the media Fredericksburg.
It is estimated that 35,000 patients can be seen each year in a new place, located where 95 and US-1 differ south of the city.
While VA is prepared for a decrease in 15% of its workforce via Doge’s efforts – from 471,000 to 398,000 – Collins repeated Fox News in the case that there will be no interruption or fall in service or quality of care.
Collins answered the warning of Senator Elisse Sloodkin, D-Mich., Who said that such cuttings would harm the veterans service and that the thought would be a “bad idea” should be a “double-sided” warning.
Citing the Government’s Liability Office (Gao), the secretary said that all parties should agree that they saw their services at a “high risk” for waste, fraud, abuse and insufficient care.
“I’ve been here for four weeks, but it’s interesting not to suggest solutions,” Collins said last week “Fox & Friends”.
“President Trump has brought a generational change in DC. And he says we look at everything. So what we look at is, if our system is on the high risk list, if we had problems and everything the government has decided to do lately, put money or people on something, then we may need to ask a better question – are we our resources and sure that our concern is?”
Other liberals broke into the administration due to the proposed decrease in VA staff, including the Senator of Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., A ranked member of the Senate Health Committee.
“They will push the Veterans’ Questions Department, threatening the health and well -being of millions of millions veteran“Sanders recently claimed.
One democratic veteran in Congress, Ambassador Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, said he regularly visits Va on a personal level and sees waiting lists and knows how problematic the process can be.
“It will all make it worse,” Moulton told MSNBC.
Collins said Trump set a goal to reduce force and that Democrats do not understand that the projected personnel figures are part of a “thoughtful process that will take some time.”
“This will include your career employees. He will include older executives,” he said.
Collins said Gao had had a high risk list for a decade, but only now are Democrats in Congress “shouting” do nothing. “

From the release so far, Collins said that the share of less than 1% of the agency’s labor force and that it did not actually affect the staff facing the front.
He also said that $ 980 million in consumption related to the contract is being studied in an attempt to re -introduce patient care, as part of Doge’s work.
In addition, on Monday, he announced that he gradually acted with “gender dysforia”-as supported by Biden’s administration.
