In my final 2 minutes, let me ask you, Dr. Thompson, because you mentioned private sources, so we have just created the Choice card, we now have our veterans going out to private providers because of the issue of getting an appointment…

I am a bit confused because Secretary Council said that on April 8, you were certified interoperable.

Veterans using the Choice card could go to a physician that is not in the health information exchange and therefore, their records are not interoperable with you?

In my view, that is an acknowledgment from EPA that just extending the deadlines is not necessarily an advocacy for dirtier air or having a higher ozone standard.

Moreover, EPA drastically missed its implementation deadlines and failed to designate non-attainment areas under the 2008 standard until May 2012.

One of these bills is my Ozone Standards Implementation Act of 2016, which is co-sponsored by Senator Flake from Arizona and Senator Manchin from West Virginia.

I certainly want to look for common sense solutions, ways to maybe massage the issue to make it so that some of the concerns that we have heard voiced today would be addressed.

Delay increases costs. The costs to California obviously are going to be very good.

Come and visit the State of West Virginia. No joblessness? We have lost over 20,000 jobs in the coal mining industry.

We have suffered irreparable harm, and I keep repeating it in this committee meeting.

I just wanted to kind of jump in on the IT issue.
