"I am always discouraged when I hear stories of struggling veterans facing delay and denial of much needed care here at home when they sacrificed so much abroad."

"I am appalled and saddened by the progress that has been made in providing them with timely and appropriate mental health care."

"We still have a long way to go in providing our veterans with quality, efficient mental health care."

"We need to begin modernizing and streamlining the process so veterans who need care can get care quickly."
