Charles Boustany: “The Subcommittee will hold a hearing on Member proposals relating to fundamental reform of the income tax system.”

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

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.

The trend lines in all these areas are very disturbing, in my mind, as a physician who has been around health care for quite a long time.
