Together, how that partnership worked. Sen. Mccain when the terrible tragedy of 50 veterans dying in phoenix that were part of the phoenix v. A. Because theyre on a phantom waiting list, it happened that triggered this whole crisis that continues with the v. A. The leaders asked me to negotiate with bernie, who was at that time chairman of the Veterans Affairs committee. I must say to you that it was a very colorful and xrated experience.
