"H.R. 806, the Veterans Healthcare Improvement Act, was the very first bill that I introduced as a new Member of the 113th Congress."
"I am profoundly grateful for the service and sacrifices made by all of our Nation's veterans and their families."
"We talk about access to care and we are arguing whether we are going to advance appropriate 14 percent of the budget and you're holding up the ability for us to see seniors--see veterans and take care..."
"I just wanted to take the opportunity because I haven't stated so far how much I support your bill today, H.R. 813, and that is why I am a co-author of the bill."
