I have a question for Mr. Matkovsky. In light of these audit findings and the reports that we have been receiving from OIG and GAO, why did the veterans medical centers not use the authority that they had to use non-VA care to send veterans out to the private sector and was it that the VA did not want to spend the money to get the veterans off the electronic wait list? I don't think I yet understand what was the hold up. If this was an option, why wasn't it used more often and why were people languishing on wait lists?
