We cannot balance our budget at the expense of the health care and benefits our veterans have earned.

I thank Chairman Murray for helping get the issue resolved but it should not take me talking to a U.S. Senator to help my husband.

We must include the cost of caring for our veterans and families long after the fighting is over.

I am concerned about the lack of separate women-only inpatient mental health care units that we are hearing about as well.
