Mike Coffman: “Clearly, national guidance and oversight is necessary to protect veterans who undergo surgical implant procedures.”

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

I think the notion that we're still at the point where neither DoD or VA has taken the lead--and I think that one of them has to have ownership for it.

I think the county and state may be prepared to go to court to force (GEO) to comply.

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.
