I have no other Members wishing to speak on the bill, and I am prepared to close. I reserve the balance of my time.

This is an absolutely essential amendment because we need more transparency about methods and how these assumptions are built into what they are proposing. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Loudermilk).

I believe it is of vital importance to seek solutions to the problem of delayed payments for veterans' medical care.

I think that is a pretty tacit admission that the market is failing.
