“Secretary, in December of 2020, actually when you were serving in the House, Congress passed the Isaacson Roe Veterans Health Care Improvement act by unanimous consent, and it was signed into law by President Trump during his first term. Section 5107 of that law says that the Secretary shall provide a form of child care assistance by January 5, 2026 to all veterans during their VA appointments. Last year, your budget requested 22 million to open kids care sites at 13 VA medical facilities. Congress delivered on that request. But you're only Planning to use 1 million of those funds in FY26.” (00:14–00:29)
