Thanks very much, I wanted to reiterate the thanks that Chairman Collins expressed to each of you for your testimony.

if we do not help our caregivers, what happens to our veterans?

You have millions of people without Medicaid coverage.

I do not know how that is benefiting many people when you rip away healthcare to 23 million people, which is the CBO number based upon the House bill.
