Mr. Smith, the VA moves at its own speed, so I asked unanimous consent that this from April 1, 2023, this press release from the Department of Veterans affairs is entered into the record without objections. So ordered. Okay. Budget cut proposals would hurt veterans. This is from April 21st. This is what you said, that our budget cuts were going to threaten medical care for veterans. Didn't happen. Undermine access to telehealth. As a matter of fact, we expanded it. That didn't happen. Worsen wait times for benefits that didn't happen. Prevent construction on healthcare facilities and veterans need. (06:47–07:01)
CLAIM
Asserts that predicted budget cuts threatening veteran medical care did not occur.
