On the recordJune 8, 2018
I would conclude simply by thanking my friend from Florida for detailing that horror story. Unfortunately, these aren't isolated incidents. This is a pattern of shoddy care for our veterans at this center, and we need the IG to be doing his work over time to make sure that these deficiencies are corrected, and corrected as soon as possible. That is the intent of this amendment. Again, I thank my friend from Texas, but I especially thank my good friend Debbie Wasserman Schultz from Florida for their support on this amendment. I include in the Record two letters from the Department of Veterans Affairs inspector general. Department of Veterans Affairs, Inspector General, Washington DC, March 23, 2018. Hon. Phil Roe, M.D., Chairman, Committee on Veterans' Affairs, House of Representatives, Washington, DC. Dear Mr. Chairman: Enclosed is a response from the Office of Inspector General (OIG) to a question for the record received from Congressman Mike Bost following the February 15th hearing before the Committee on the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Budget Request for Fiscal Year 2019.
