I believe it will happen. I believe it is set in such a way that it can happen.

I think it is really important that we pay attention and only make incremental changes so as not to push the small insurers out of the marketplace.

I guess I am just curious why you would want to do that in this case?

I think you have given us great perspective on the fact that we need to reauthorize TRIA and we need to do it pretty soon.

we are about seven generations removed from the Civil War era. It is completely reasonable and appropriate to seek out the veterans' next-of-kin, whenever possible.

If you are a homeless veteran and nobody can identify next of kin, you deserve your service to be honored with a headstone like everybody else.

I would urge you to look at H.R. 2018.

If we cannot trust the American Legion to be a proxy, to be that family, then who can we trust?

the Department of Veterans Affairs' headstones program is good public policy when it is accessible to the public

I do not want to have to put it in the law, but if it does not get fixed any other way, we will fix it.

I believe a longer-term TRIA bill reduces uncertainty more than a shorter-term TRIA bill.
