Henry Waxman actually said...

"If FDA is unnecessarily impeding technological advances that improve the lives of patients, we should all be united in doing whatever it takes to remove these unnecessary regulatory barriers to public..."

"We should not forget that that is the fundamental mission of FDA."

"Our focus in this committee should be on how we can strengthen our device laws to protect patients from these grievous harms."

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this important hearing today."
