we would like to reiterate our appreciation to Chairman Hatch, Senator Wyden, and the Senate Finance Committee for their work on this issue

In order to promote and support the goals of health care reform, I recommend limiting certain service lines from the IOAS exception's protection that have a history of abuse.
