"If we are going to have a hearing, FDA ought to be here."
"Thank you, Chairman Pitts, for holding this hearing today."
"I think we can all agree that the current process has not been working."
"I have serious concerns about such a model."
"The bill sets out mandatory time frames for decisions both by the advisory committee and the FDA."
"That seems like an inappropriate shifting of the burden of proof."
"I think that is going to be very important."
"Hon. Henry A. Waxman, a Representative in Congress from the State of California, opening statement."
"The increased coverage provided by the Affordable Care Act and the mental health benefits it requires will make a substantial improvement in the lives of Americans who need these services."
"I must express deep concern about other provisions in this bill. I think the bill broadly redefines the privacy rights of individuals with a diagnosed mental illness."
"This has always been a State responsibility. This is a one-size-fits-all response."
"Thank you, Mr. Chairman."
