VA must do a better job to make sure that these therapies are available to all interested veterans.
I remain deeply disappointed that the White House included in their budget request the so-called chained CPI.
This is a horrendous tragedy. It is a tough issue. We have got to address it.
VA has set ambitious goals, put forward a plan and has been working hard to transform the system.
I just wanted to say thank you to the President and to you because I know your request had to have something to do with that.
I remain concerned that the VA has hired just 47 clinicians in the 2 months prior to that hearing.
I believe that this year's budget request... reflects a strong commitment by this Administration to provide veterans and their families with the care and benefits they deserve.
I was sworn in in February of 1999 to the U.S. House of Representatives, and, if I am correct, every year in December we had to, at the last minute, patch the SGR or physicians were going down the tubes on reimbursement.
