The Veterans HEALTH Act is bipartisan, and I appreciate my colleague, Senator Sinema, for working with me on this legislation.

AWP was proud to support the access standards 2 years ago when introduced by Ranking Member Moran.

What is it like to watch your patients die because you don't have the right antibiotic?

I am sure this question has been asked earlier. I have been in another committee.

I look forward to the day when we have honest discussions in this Committee and our investigation powers to investigate our own out-of-control Federal bureaucracy that actually impacts the American people.

Specifically, who? Who is going to be making less money and who is going to have less power because of this merger?
