I really want to thank the chairman for conducting this hearing.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you all for your testimony.

The results are very encouraging. A VHA analysis of home telehealth services in 2013 showed a 35 percent drop in hospital admissions, an annual cost reduction of $2,000 per patient, and a patient satisfaction rate of approximately 90…

I think in the current climate how difficult the conversations are, but we've been running on this regulatory hamster wheel for about 10 years now.

Chairman Pai is making a mistake with repealing the Open Internet Order, which will undermine the Internet, as we know it.

Does the statutory framework allow for the FCC to do this, or does this require legislation?

Scott Pruitt, Mike Flynn, Betsy DeVos-- there is a pattern here. This administration keeps choosing people who seem like the wrong fit to run their agency, and now we are about to add Jay Clayton to the list. He is different in a lot of…

I recently wrapped up a townhall tour across my district in Hawaii, visiting every single island. A common theme that I heard from folks was one of concern and questions about this Republican healthcare bill that we may be voting on later…

North Korea is committed to developing long-range missile technology.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

I want to point out that in addition to more broadband and more high-tech equipment, if there were a legal solution to the problem of being able to project telehealth across state lines, that is probably the single biggest limitation to…

What worries me the most, though, is that I think you've all got the right clinical and human perspective here...

Make no mistake about it, veteran suicide prevention is an all-hands-on-deck imperative.

More than two-thirds of veterans who commit suicide on a given day have either never tried, or tried and failed, to receive help from the VA.

I had a back-and-forth about a year ago with Dr. Shulkin about the statutory authorization that I believe clearly allows the VA to provide care to those that have bad paper discharges.

As you know, a very well-publicized recent report identified within the Army as that subset being 24,000 veterans who had a less-than-honorable discharge who had a service-connected disability but were denied services in some way, shape…
