I ask that you oppose efforts to strike the DBE program from the bill.
This bill represents a critically important step towards enacting a long overdue 'Patients' Bill of Rights'.
I look forward to working with the Congress to enact a 'Patients' Bill of Rights' Act that I can sign into law this year.
Federal standards are essential to assure that all patients get the protections they need.
