It is infuriating to me that we can't do better for them.

So what are you doing to prioritize living conditions?

the VA often puts actions ahead of planning.

Those should be the loudest voices at that table.

I do not want too many cooks in the kitchen, you know.

I look forward to collaborating across the aisle, as we successfully accomplished last Congress.

I think Ranking Member Takano's bills are a great start to get us back on track in delivering better healthcare benefits to our veterans and supporting the VA.

It has faced issue after issue, and providers and veterans at these five sites are not getting the support and care they need.

I am convinced that H.R. 2499 is vitally important.

Thank you very much, Mr. Mrvan.

VA must take these steps to make sure it does not repeat mistakes made at the first five sites.
