I want to know if we will get to a place where we actually have, what are the very specific things we need to do for our women veterans.

I certainly do thank the VA for their work and help. Sometimes it might sound like we are being overly critical.

I would love for you to come and see actually what takes place there.

With a national policy that respects and encourages alternative therapies and cutting edge medicine, veterans have the best possible shot.

I believe caring for our veterans is the utmost responsibility of our nation.

I can assure you that there is not a space issue in Ventura County, that if you need additional space, we will find additional space for you.

veterans want services that are closer to home and in their community.

the wait times are way too long.

I always stand sort of fearful that this is going to be the panacea and the solution that is going to fill in the gaps.

I am hopeful that this will be an honest, open discussion on ways to provide the care needed through more partnering with the VA and the private sector to increase the pool of providers and other creative ways to address the gaps in mental…

I am going to change that.

So in terms of alternative therapies, I think our one witness who talked about our equine therapy here, I have been there, and it is really an extraordinary program.
