I spent much of my time as Chairman of this committee focused on increasing funding for the IHS and trying to force some systemic changes in the bureaucracy that plagues that agency.

We have to shine all the spotlights on one spot and figure out not only what is happening, but how on earth do we fix it.

You know, I do not know that I can offer you much advice except to say we have painted ourselves into a fiscal policy corner.
