"Other than defense, I am pretty sure that there is no other Federal agency that has fared better than the VA while we functioned under the budget caps."

"I am deeply concerned that this is a, you know, snowball rolling faster and faster down the hill, and appears to be moving in the direction of privatization."

"I hope you can appreciate that it is important that we are able to see... how much is going into non-VA care."

"the more and more resources that go into private community care and the less of an increase that we are focused on in VA care, the longer it takes us"
