I am grateful to you for your support of the Veterans HEALTH Act.

When I was Mayor of Long Beach, California, I was really proud to establish the first city-wide project labor agreement in the state.

I continue to hear from veterans in Kansas and across the country who face what are unacceptable barriers to accessing timely, quality health care that they need.

Thank the Chairman for having this hearing as well.

The act that is being discussed is really nothing more than a scheme to cripple Congress and to give right-wing extremists more and more opportunities to sabotage our government and eliminate, essentially, programs that help people.

3 million Americans this year will get some type of an antimicrobial resistance superbug this year.

I have introduced a couple of bills that are on today's agenda as a result of those kind of circumstances.

Yes. When--I used to help run a hospital and you try to keep your formulary tight from a cost management standpoint.

We can build a resilient health care system designed with people at the very center--designed to take care of all Americans.

Thank the Chairman for having this hearing as well.

When I think about life at this level, typically motivations are sex, money, or power.

3 million Americans this year will get some type of an antimicrobial resistance superbug this year.

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

A lot of this was done in the dark of the night, so to speak.

Right. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Ms. Lawrence, you are a living, breathing miracle.

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

A lot of this was done in the dark of the night, so to speak.

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.
