Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) discussed the emerging scandal at the Walter Reed Medical Center Thursday, stating that “We’re not doing enough to help [military personnel] transition into the next phase of their life.”
Speaking at a forum sponsored by The Center for American Progress, the 2008 presidential hopeful was careful to define where the problem lies.
“The care that people receive at the battle field sight and during the evacuation and when they are first taken care of at any of our military hospitals in terms of the acute care they receive is very good,” she said. “The problem comes when someone moves from the acute care setting to the outpatient care.”
Below is a video of her remarks.
