I have spent a great deal of time trying to figure out what to do on these issues, and I have a very large veterans' population in my district.
We should not expect our veterans to be experts in appeals law, Veterans Affairs regulations. That is not their job. It is our job to take care of them.
Thank you, Chairman Bost. I want to thank you very much for calling this hearing today, and for taking the lead in requesting the GAO report, which is the basis of this oversight hearing of the VA's contract medical examination program.
I am happy to welcome everyone here today as we enter the home stretch on the implementation of the Appeals Modernization Act.
