The hearing will come to order. We are here to discuss the president s fiscal year 2016 budget request for the department of Veterans Affairs. Mr. Secretary, welcome to the committee. Understand that your testimony will be a little bit different today than what we are accustomed to with reference to chart to help us better understand what you are seeing in terms of the challenges that lay ahead and i would say that is indeed a welcome change. So too is the open as you have had with me with members of this committee and this congress about your plans to change the culture at the va. As your testimony illustrates you have been extremely active in visiting va facilities. I think its well over 90 at this point, talking with employees veteran groups in your private sector colleagues with one aim in mind, putting everyones focus squarely on the needs of veterans. Thank you for your willingness to take the job of secretary and thank yo ....

CSPAN Key Capitol Hill Hearings February 12, 2015

I met a veteran who has been out two years and 10 disability but the point is he cant get his paperwork from dod. What are we doing . We have asked this question for years. Its a great question. I have to say secretary hagel and i are totally aligned that we want to have a seamless handoff from the department of defense to the va. Thats why we have instituted programs like cap while the person is on active duty and allison can talk about that. Congressman brown some good news to report on this front though it didnt obviously help that particular veteran two years ago we are engaged now in the mandatory program for all of our servicemembers including National Guard and reserve for which there are now nearly a million who qualify for benefits that did not previously. Another thing that is starting literally right now is the mandatory separation health assessment. The choice to the veteran told a session is if you are going to make a ....

24th state to have one. The phone lines are open. Also, send us a tweet or a facebook post, or send us an e mail. Heres what the president said yesterday in michigan. [video clip] these right to work law dont have to do with economics. They have everything to do with politics. What they are really talking about is giving you the right to work for less money. [cheers and applause] you only have to look to michigan, where workers were instrumental in reviving the Auto Industry and to see how unions have helped to build not just a straw uppermiddleclass but a stronger america stronger middleclass but a stronger america.

Experiences. Guest the federal government has tried to roll up waste and fraud, but when taxpayer money is involved it is different than a private enterprise. The ability for fraud to creep into Government Programs financed by taxes is much tighter than private enterprises because shareholders have their own money that they invest. There are a certain amount of problems. For instance, medicare, probably in the order of 60 billion per year in a wasteful and fraudulent payments. This is a huge number. It is in part because medicare programs paying a billion claims a year for medical services. The ability to track the claims and figure out which ones are right and wrong is limited at the federal level. I think there is a certain amount of things that go on and government that is difficult to get all the waste out. The caller is absolutely right it to be a top priority. Host alright, kathy,

CSPAN Key Capitol Hill Hearings April 30, 2014

Duty as a congress, and certainly our duty as a part of this committee to make sure hat that check we figuratively wrote to those veterans never comes back marked insufficient funds. And to make sure that that check, the benefits of that check dont come back redeemed in a delayed fashion. So we have done what is necessary to make sure that they get their benefits, that he they get them in a timely manner, that the claims backlog is eliminated, and that we facilitate whatever it takes to make sure that they are rewarded for their service to our country because the price of freedom, it is not free. Somebody had to pay that price. And the people who paid the price are the men and women who served our nation in uniform and are our veterans and families who also sacrificed as the Service Members wept to war. With that i yield back the balance of my time, and i urge the adoption of this bill and ask my colleagues to support it. The cha ....
