I would just suggest we try to go up another level and, for the entire Veterans Administration, all across the country, try to use the same equipment, get the same data, because you could negotiate an even larger discount.

While 'The Case of the $11,257 Package' is a catchy title, it is actually one example of inaccurate data reporting by the VA.

However, I believe this is indicative of a larger problem.

These issues place VA's mail program at risk and cause me to question whether the physical security and accurate tracking of packages... are at higher risk of diversion.

I also believe it is critical that we make sure people have access to comprehensive coverage and really protect those guardrails in 1332s.

From my experience, our Federal programs may not be properly incentivizing our States to make the necessary investments in our infrastructure that would help us mitigate the long-term consequences of a disaster.

While we all want permitting decisions to occur quickly--God knows I do--the rules and processes we have in place are not always just 'red tape.'

It is important then that the President appoint a skilled and capable permanent Executive Director for the Council who is equipped with the authority necessary to push projects through to completion.

It is critical that the provisions we enact in this area be fully implemented so we can understand the impact that they will have before we look to do a whole lot more.

the advance premium tax credits that we would have to pay as opposed to using that money as seed money for reinsurance and bringing down the overall cost I think weighs to the benefit side of the cost-benefit analysis.

If we are approaching $20 trillion, how much more can you generate.

Lowering health care costs should not mean that patients experience worse outcomes; instead, we should take steps to incentivize value-based care.

People around New Hampshire, when I said we were going to have bipartisan hearings and listen to experts... there was a real sigh of relief.

I really do enjoy working so closely with General Bergman to address many of the issues that our veterans face.

Treating veterans via telehealth has the potential to help veterans get the care they need in rural areas.

We really should have that service everywhere.

A lot of veterans... are choosing to live a rural life.

Infrastructure is a very real barrier for expansion of telehealth initiatives in rural areas.
