Charles Boustany: “It is our recommendation that Congress remove all claims processing for non-VA providers from the Department of the VA…”

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

AMR supports and urges the Committee to consider H.R. 4689, 'The Timely Payment for Veterans' Emergency Care Act' sponsored by Congressman Boustany.

This has to be resolved, because if America is going to lead in trade, we have to have enforcement of our laws.

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