It is embarrassing for me to go home and try to explain to people why their money is being wasted.

I would just ask you, Mr. Gould, how do we do a better job of back planning from the outcome that Dr. Roe was talking about?

the perception amongst the public is this is a good time free-for-all on the public's dollar, not to get anything out of this.

I have veterans that come up and say, I can't get in the hospital down here, Doc. I am in a line 40 miles long, and then they show me this videotape where they show me this plush event that occurred in Orlando.

the perception out there when you see this, if you are a taxpayer in east Tennessee where I live, just barely getting by, and you are paying your taxes and you see these silly videos or you see these other things, even if it is a tenth of…

But what we were told was the veteran would be able to electronically go to their iPad or their computer and--

54,000 constituent requests sounds like a lot.

When is that going to happen?

When am I going to get some resolution for me?
