“I represent the largest base closure in the United States where they closed the military hospital. Out of that developed a veterans health clinic. What I am seeing in this debate and I think our problem here in Congress is that we know about the promises and promises and promises that were made, but when we get down to trying to implement the promises, we find we have excuses, excuses, excuses. Those excuses are sort of promises dependent upon multi-layered solutions, promises dependent upon studies, promises dependent on delays on pilot programs and so on. I mean, the fact of the matter is that we have military hospitals and we have veterans clinics. I know that there is a different jurisdictional issue here, but to the people outside of this building, they do not understand that. Most hospitals in America are having a problem of being filled because our delivery of medicine is being more adequate. We have enough facilities out there.”
