I have a concern about the delivery of the medical services to these new enrollees.
I am afraid that veterans are going to be turned away from these rural clinics.
I just want to quantify some of the economic damages and have that in the record.
Thank you, Secretary Shinseki, for your appearance today before the Committee, and for your transformational vision for the VA.
That is a lot of veterans to process in a system that already has backlogs, and so I really have a concern about that.
I just have one question. This is a follow-up on Secretary Kelly's statement that the initial implementation would cost $273,000.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My first question is for each member of the panel.
They've raised their families here. Worked the mines. Run their own businesses.
I am committed to using the legislative process to represent their concerns.
The voices of tribal and environmental groups should be heard and respected.
We also need to include environmental protections for the water and land in and around the Copper Corridor.
