Bob Casey: “I think it dramatically reduces the incentive effect, and that, I think, should be of concern to this committee.”

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.
