David Roe: “I find that abhorrent that we have people in this country with Medicaid that get a lower standard of care than other…”

I want to give the VA a shout-out and there are some--obviously, we are going over some problems today that the VA had, but all in all I think the VA probably has the opportunity to be one of the best systems in the country.

Today is a significant day in America, it is April 15th, and a lot of hardworking taxpayers are sending checks off today.

It is embarrassing to me to go home and to look those folks in the eye who work as hard as they do and write the checks they do to see this big of a disaster, financial disaster.

But I am mindful of something Rahm Emanuel said when he was chief of staff to President Obama in 2009. He said you never let a serious crisis go to waste. I am afraid some of us are doing that here.
