I believe we have to really get back and reconstitute our mental health infrastructure in this country.

Do not imply, Mr. Secretary, I care any less about the veterans who are committing suicide. I have declared suicide prevention to be the No. 1 priority of this committee.

When suicide occurs in a hospital, a place where the most vulnerable go for help, that loss feels particularly acute.

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.
