Thursday, where you stand on the republican bill thats out. I think its a big step in the right direction. Is not perfect and i think as republicans , my message is you cant let perfect be the enemy of good here. Its defining, its declawing obamacare strikes to the heart of obamacare with respect to doing away withthe mandate. Repealing the taxes, gutting the regulations that again is at the heart of government controlled healthcare as i described and then begins the process of reforming with republican reforms that are based in market. Creating a situation where you have insurance competing for us as patients or consumers which i think if you have that dynamic in a robust way, you will have prices go down and you will have better services. And you will empower patients who got tax credits in there, you got expansion of Health Savings accounts, and then you got ways to reform medicaid and give states more flexibility so i think the big step in the right direction, i think there are a c

Announcer cspan. Created by americas Cable Companies 35 years ago. Announcer on this weekend newsmakers Johnny Isakson is our guest. He is the chair of the Veterans Affairs community and talks about ongoing efforts to reform the v. A. Senator isakson i am an optimist, and i would say succeeding is not the main goal of the v. A. Statutory changes needed as well as leadership changes. Thats why i have said we need to have Bob Mcdonnells back and get the force of congress behind him to make sure he does the Accountability Measures necessary. I want to underscore this we have some of the finest Health Care Professionals and technicians in the world. Our problem is more the administration and accounting level of the v. A. That is the delivery of health services. That is where the problems come from for phoenix, and thats where the problems need to be created. While they are significant problems, they are correctable. Announcer you can watch newsmakers tomorrow at 10 00 a. M. And 6 00 p. M.

And he gets no recognition from the va for that effort. And they need it badly. Thank you, congressman. Thank you. I thank the entire panel for being here today. I go back, as a young military medical officer during the vietnam era, and i was thinking as i was listening to the testimony, what training i had had and i am an ob gyn doctor what training i had going into the military and what training i received in the military to deal with this. And i can tell you, as for what i received in the military, it was nothing. Military sexual trauma has been going on just logically thinking about it, we knew it was happening outside the military. Why wouldnt it occur inside the military . Why would it be occurring in the civilian world, and i get drafted, and the next day it is not an issue . Today, there are a lot more women serving. It is amazing how many women now are doing a phenomenal job in the military. There is that issue there. I think what we have to do, as a scientist, you identify th
