Despite what i think is tremendous leadership on the part of the va and new secretary, its just not working and the people who are delivering that care in the front lines are suffering and whats even more important, the people that they serve are suffering and weve got to have a big bold path forward to fix this. With that i yield back to the chair. Thank you. Mr. Kauffman, youre recognized. We get scope of practice questions here in the congress relative to the veterans administration. I think ...

Could you give me your assessment of Border Security in the indian reservation, for example. I dont want to single those out. With the reservation compared to others, areas on the northern border, would you s...

Goes to her doctor, who orders a lung ct scan and a new blood test developed through research supported by the Precision Medicine initiative to look for dna and other biomarkers circulating in her blood. The ct scan detects a tiny spot that could be inflammation from bronchitis or cancer not clear, but the biomarker test clinches the diagnosis, revealing a genetic mutation that occurs only in patients with cancer. In 2015, today her prognosis from this cancer would be pretty grim. But in 2018 th...

Dashcam ra dashcamera evidence. We have not. In colorado the dashcameras are used routinely by the Colorado State patrol. It is left up to the individual officers when they want to use individual cameras. From a prosecutors point of view this hasnt been a difficult tool to employ .

And i remember one morning, getting ready to go to court and my babysitter was sick, my daughter was sick. I was calling desperately to find somebody to come. Finally found a friend who came and stayed, thankfully. But it just made me so sick inside because i had to leave my daughter. And i rushed home after i finished in court. Chelsea was fine, sitting there with my friend. And for the first time all day my heart stopped taking. That was one day for me. For so many moms and dads, that ache is ...

Income inequality, like watching the end of casablanca. [applause] [laughter] my goodness people are talking about it. Round up the usual suspects. Well, in fact we do not want to discourage their newfound interest.
