On the recordNovember 30, 2015
The Senator is certainly entitled to the information in order to make a reasonable judgment. This Senator is advocating fairness in the system. There was a time that Puerto Rico was, in fact, included under the bankruptcy laws. For whatever reason, a couple of decades ago the law was changed and they were treated differently; the same was true with Medicare and Medicaid payments. I think, regardless of what their financials show, Congress is going to have to take action. So when the Senator gets the information he wants, then I hope we can act forthwith because this is a problem that is with us at the moment. They are about to the point that they cannot make the payments on their debt obligations. So the day of reckoning is basically here. ____________________
