Today's backtracking is an admission that this process has been botched from the start.
And the thing I believe, if you make a commitment and somebody is fighting with you, America should keep their word.
Now the Bakersfield clinic is the only location that remains un-built, and that is unacceptable.
Because he protests, he doubles his rent. Because he doubles his rent, the veterans are denied a new facility.
The taxpayers are now getting ripped off. The veterans are now being denied, and the person causing it all is being rewarded.
For too long thousands of veterans throughout Kern County have patiently awaited a new community-based outpatient clinic.
I believe that this is a perfect illustration of precisely why Congress needs to assert its authority and make clear once and for all that smoking is unacceptable in the medical facilities where our veterans seek care every day.
I've watched this president. I've listened to this president. He does not want foreign governments interfering in our election, and he has been very strong about that.
Let me be clear. Republicans have never supported the DSH cuts and worked successfully to prevent them.
I am pleased to see the bipartisan commitment to continuing to fund the Excellence in Mental Health Demonstration.
The commission has long held that DSH payments should be better targeted to hospitals that serve a high share of Medicaid-enrolled and low-income uninsured patients.
It's my honor to be able to present what I think is a great bill that can be bipartisan, and one that benefits all.
If we're able to sign this legislation into law, then supercomputers would be used to analyze VA health data and look for patterns that will help improve the medical treatments for our heart disease, traumatic brain injury, and cancer.

Yes, we believe Hatch-Waxman got it right, that we should protect innovation during the period and when that expires, we should remove barriers to generic entry.
Speaker Pelosi's Republican counterpart, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, said she was playing politics, called it unbecoming of the speaker.
Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because she's untrustable.
Climate change is happening. There's debate in terms of what's causing that but it's happening.
It's kind of like three pillars. DACA, because we're all in the room want to do it, border security, so we're not back out here, and chain migration.
Mr. President, you need to be clear, though. I think what Senator Feinstein is asking here, when we talk about DACA, you have to have security, as the secretary would tell you.
During that campaign, you listened to voices no one else was listening to. We would not be standing here today if it wasn't for you.
