TRICARE benefits for the Guard and Reserve--I'd just like to get your impression about how that program has worked.

The sexual harassment, sexual assault problem is being better identified, and the number of reported cases is growing.

I think we need to.

I want to also acknowledge that Senator Nelson was a complete joy to work with, and he's gone to another subcommittee.

I want to ensure that TRICARE beneficiaries continue to have timely access to high quality health care during the protest period and the critical transition period to the new contracts.

What you're pointing out is very important to the country, and I appreciate your interest, and we'll get some answers to these real legitimate questions.

It really is working.

There's nothing wrong with going to the mental health professionals in your unit, or the doctor or the surgeon, and saying, 'Hey, Doc, you know, I need a little help here.'

I do not believe the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will have any negative impacts on health care benefits for military personnel, retirees, and their families.

I have read that Medicare has a fraud rate of as high as 10 percent--the highest rate of any Federal program.

I am not happy to hear that implementation of TRICARE for Gray Area reservists is taking so long.

We need to do that, and you're well on your way to doing it.

do you agree that many troops are taking more than one kind of psychiatric drug, 'mixing daily cocktails,' and that this behavior can lead to suicide?

Can you assure me that TRICARE's beneficiaries will not be harmed during this contract transition?

There may be secondary effects to TRICARE, but we will ensure these effects will not hurt military health care in the future.

We have to make that as seamless as possible.

Do you agree that such a program could be beneficial?

Haiti was a major effort, and I couldn't be more proud of the Active and Reserve components helping the people of Haiti.
