Joe Manchin III

We can do it on a pilot. The way the bill is written is on a pilot.

I think it is really a labor of love, if you will.

We are talking about trying to get a pilot program, and I have a bill that we have written.

Hershel 'Woody' Williams, as I think you will recall, he was the last surviving Medal of Honor winner from World War II.

And would they be aware, would you make them aware of all of the conditions and all the prior treatments I've received?

I would say that if I'm coming out of the military and I'm discharged, okay. So you checked me out and I've had some problems.

I mean, do you know if there's a problem there? Because it seems like to me, they're coming back home in West Virginia, we should have been notified that there was some serious problems we could have intervened and helped them with.

Let me ask you this. Do you all, any of you all from the Department of Veterans, VA know anything about this?

So, I mean, have you looked at your contracts to make sure that they, basically, you need this to do the accurate work you need with AI for it to be effective?

Thank you. Mr. Kuntz, if I could talk to you because it's just a horrible situation. I know and I thank you for your work you're doing in mental illness and all the suicide----

There's no reason that the VA shouldn't be the world leader in adopting AI into healthcare practices.
