Bob Casey: “I want to thank both you and Senator Braun for this opportunity to examine these issues.”

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

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

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.
