i also think it takes care of the veterans with hepatitis c. many of whom are vietnam veterans, who we recently honored in a celebration in the capitol, should be one of our highest priorities. but i wonder if this shortfall is fundamentally due to lack of planning and forecasting or for a variety of programs which would provide services to our veterans. so today let's figure out what we need to do to ensure that our veterans are getting the health care that they have earned and begin to figure out what steps we need to take to and prevent any more 11th hour budget crisis. in february the secretary began asking this committee for more flexibility to move money between accounts that would enable him to run his administration more like a business and better care for the veterans. let me repeat that. in february -- and, again, in march -- the secretary came right there and asked us to give him the flexibility to run the va like a business so he could care for the veterans. we have over 60 additional accounts that the va has to decide whether or no

you and i both know hepatitis c is an insidious disease. i was in my district this weekend and three vietnam veterans came up to me and said that they had yet to receive anything from the v.a. because i understand that is in the pipeline and i understand that the other hepatitis c rows are only approved in 2013. that still gives about two years to formulate plans, delicate how this medicine is going to be divvied up. it has not been done. can you give me some indication as to when our vietnam veterans can expect some hard data as to if they can get treatment? dr. tuchschmidt: we -- we have treated over 20,000 veterans this year for hepatitis c. dr. abraham: how were you delegating which veteran gets treated in which does not? dr. tuchschmidt: you may be getting a little bit over my head in terms of hepatitis c. we have a severity score based upon whether the veteran has advanced liver disease. dr. abraham: i guess what i would ask is if you could just give me that information of how the determination is made. is it viral loads or autopsy re

chairman: the issue is, your hepatitis c drug. 1.5 billion or but ever the number is for hepatitis c. that is part of the issue and i do not think that anyone of us believe that we should not be providing that drug. it no budget submission that i can recall, was it discussed about that although, i am hoping that somebody -- miss brown actually talked about someone looking for the approval of that the drug. if it did come on, it was going to cause a significant issue as it relates to the non-va care line item $6 billion. it is gone now. it has never been gone before. all of a sudden, this year it disappeared. if we did not cap the pots of money you are looking at now to solve this crisis, how would the crisis be solved? sec. mcdonald: mr. chairman, what we are saying is, based on the laws that congress has passed there are certain benefits we have to give to veterans. the budget has to match that. without the choice act, we would not have the money for that. just over one third of veterans art using the system. i think the point you make on the hepatitis see drug is a very important on
