I thank you for yielding, Dr. Gingrey. You know, all of us in the Doctors Caucus are people who have treated patients, and we know full well the value of quality health care. We also know what happens when bureaucracy gets between the…

But we have to recognize that the constant stress of battle wears on our soldiers and has own effects which last long after the bullets stop flying.

We need special programs like this. They're effective, they're cost efficient.
