I think in your case in New York, what has happened under your leadership could be an example for the rest of us.

I don't believe they are allowed to keep a portion of the recoveries to pay for their recovery activities.

If we change our audit plan and look at the most vulnerable but also the most problematic, we are going to end up eating that on the State budget side.

If we amend our law so that it allows some portion of the recoveries to be used to strengthen those kinds of systems, does that make sense?

the demonstration project has been seen by many, including by me, as a real success

I am especially interested to see if the first State that ratified the Constitution, might be on that list.

We are going to run out of money in the Medicare Trust Fund.

I think the key for us in looking at these contractors is--I have difficulties with the bounty issue once again

I think there is a real opportunity here for us and for the IG and CMS to say, here is what a compliance program looks like at a managed care entity.

Let us make sure FEMA has not put limitations on itself that the law did not intend.

I think there is a necessity to try to align the agency and the work that you all do with the law.

I think too often we try to take our programs and build up to a number, not really having an expectation that the number may be so large that the process will not get us where we need to go.

All too often, however, agencies are failing to meet their responsibilities in this regard.

we applaud Senator Sanders for introducing this important and overdue legislation.

I think we have got to be a lot more aggressive.

What we believe very strongly is that it is terribly important to have aggressive outreach; that there are many veterans who do not know what they are entitled to.

Thank you very much.

Does that mean that we have 10,000 more nurses in the VA?
