Bob Casey: “The patience of the American people is not unlimited for our engagement and we need to see progress.”

Thank you, Senator Casey, for organizing this hearing and for all you do to improve support for caregivers.

I am disappointed that Dr. de la Torre defied the subpoena this Committee authorized and has chosen not to appear today.

I hope that the Committee will be able to hear from him soon.

We are enormously grateful for leaders like Senator Casey who are working to make those investments a reality.
