My own view is that these people who've served our country, who have put their lives at risk in many cases, have been seriously injured, physically, mentally, deserve our very best. And It's a national embarrassment that we have young people and older people who've served in our military that need health care, that need particularly mental health care, and they can't get treatment and they wait in line for as long as a year to get treatment. It's inexcus excusable. And for the reasons that I've mentioned and Dr. Kennedy has mentioned, I think it's appropriate for us to say, look, if you want to go to the VA hospital, terrific.
