Thank you, all.

I am hopeful that you guys can get this together.

Keep us apprised of redlines.

We are grateful for that and I think about those folks who are out there in Koochiching County.

I think getting veterans engaged in this, making sure they are very clear about what this is and where these intersect is absolutely critical.

Every time we say it is not privatization, it is the exercise in don't think of a draft, that is exactly what they are thinking about.

A lot of those failures were complexity.

I asked them in a room of about 100 veterans and family, how many have used Choice, about 30; how many had successful experiences, two.

this is not a partisan issue, it is a veteran issue. And this Committee continues to prove that veterans, not politics, come first.

For those veterans that will be watching and following this closely, they expect nothing less of us; they expect nothing less than bipartisanship aimed at common values and outcomes, and for that I am grateful.

I serve as the Senior Vice President of Government Relations at the American Health Care Association (AHCA).
