I want to commend the work of the Loan Guaranty Service, as it is one of the most well run business lines within the Veterans Business Administration.

My goal is to not advocate necessarily for wholesale replacement of the current appraisal process, but we should look at every regulation, every process to ensure that they are meeting the veteran's needs, which is the goal that I know…

It's a pleasure to join the Subcommittee on Health today to talk about my draft legislation to require VA to implement a pilot program for medical scribes within VA medical centers (VAMCs).

My bill would expand VA's authority to include all VA beneficiaries that are prescribed a drug.

As a parent, I know the only thing you're thinking about is the safety, health, and well-being of your child.

Female veterans who may have higher-risk pregnancies should feel confident they will receive appropriate and necessary maternity care and care for their newborns.

Our duties to the women in our Armed Services do not end because they are no longer serving on active duty, and should they choose to receive maternity care at the VA, they should be confident it will be quality care.

I hope that the Committee will once again place the Newborn Care Improvement Act on its markup calendar to move forward this legislation for newborns and their mothers.

Medical scribes can improve efficiency in areas with a high demand of appointments, but a low supply of providers.

I say this as a joke, but it was an electronic health record that made me congressman.

It is a pleasure to join the Subcommittee on Health today to talk about my draft legislation.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman and Ranking Member Brownley.

If Congress wants to push for greater accountability, it must be willing to compensate the executives who take on these demanding and complex jobs.

The right to form and join a union is surely undermined if that union is prevented from exercising its representational duties.

Any effort to undermine these veterans' union rights should be vehemently opposed.

Clearly, these restrictions are in place to do one thing and one thing only; limit the employee's freedom of choice.

I don't believe the average American would see doctors and nurses receiving a taxpayer-funded salary... as reasonable or as being in the public's interests.

My bill would address this problem by prohibiting VA physicians, dentists, podiatrists, chiropractors, or optometrists from spending any of their time on union activities.

I believe that financial aid should be enhanced if the cost of college is indeed a severe impediment to accessing postsecondary education.

Our President has said he is committed to increasing funding for our veterans, but this does not mean the VA gets a blank check.

We need strong leaders at the VA hospitals who are committed to putting the plan in place.

It remains far from perfect and in far too many cases it fails the very veterans it was created to serve.

All of us around this dais continue to hear from veterans, day after day, experiencing lengthy and frustrating delays.

By removing the sunset date to the Choice Program, we are not endorsing the program in its current state.

However, the first step to reforming Choice is making sure that there is a smooth transition to lead the way.
