That's why this Senator is fully supportive of the FCC's efforts to use its authority to give consumers relief.
It reminds me of an old phrase on Capitol Hill, never count on a Democrat to hold their vote.
If that is the case, I would say, yes, our veterans have, really, reason for concern.
You need a single source basically taking care in curing them.
My State's biggest problem is opiates, OK?
How do you see VA striking a balance between making sure a veteran receives access to care in the community and the care...
It worries me that the veteran could receive medical care completely outside the VA with little to no oversight.
But when I talk to the veterans, they still want veteran care. They demand it.
I understand that many of our veterans are concerned that shifting care to outside the VA is going to lead to less money...
I don't think there is an incentive for the regulators to hold that down.
I appreciate it. I hope that we can do something, because at $10,000 a year that is after taxes...
We are still waiting for that call about it, because we only have one exchange in the state.
I think I am going to address my remarks primarily to Mr. Slavitt, if I could, please.
We have the seventh highest premium rate in the country.
This past year we had a 24 percent hike in our premiums and now they are--excuse me.
Leadership stability and getting the best people and the right people in leadership positions is absolutely essential.
We will not stop or rest until we have good people in all the right leadership positions.
I want to thank you, Mr. Chairman, also for the fine job you do and allowing all of us to participate.
