Charles Boustany: “I want to make the statement that, yes, we have a tax gap.”

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

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

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.

I am pleased to yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Roe), who is the chairman of the Physicians Caucus.
