"This is an important hearing and issue, access to quality healthcare in rural areas."

"The purpose of today's hearing is to make sure that the care that you and your fellow veterans receive in the Eastern UP is timely, accessible, and high quality."

"I had the opportunity to visit with a few veterans here today who assured me that they are getting absolutely great care."

"we want the VA to be nimble enough and flexible enough so that we are what we call back in Washington veteran-centric"
