The Department remains a troubled agency plagued by a morass of program and management problems

I would prefer to have questions answered in an open committee hearing where we can question the witness and follow up. I used a number of followup questions because I was not convinced of the answers when Mr. Altman was in front of us…

I believe that Americans want the President and the Congress to work on the challenges before our Nation and the problems affecting our lives. Personally, I would like to be able to devote my time to working on health care reform, to…
