Mike Coffman: “This hearing will examine the deficiencies in VA's implementation and oversight of its government Purchase Card Program.”

It’s in our interest to protect the public health of our community to be able to merely make a statement that requests or demands that (The GEO Group) comply on behalf of our residents.

Thank you for your service all these years on the Committee and the things you have done for the folks in Denver with the Denver VA.

The fact is, GEO is not cooperative, and so we have an incident here. There could be other incidents down the road.

This administration, the Trump administration, promised to clean up the culture of bureaucratic incompetence inside the VA. And based on this testimony today and other hearings we've had, I don't think they've made a lick of difference.
