On the recordJuly 25, 2001
after fighting for 5 years, we finally have an opportunity to pass real managed care reform in the House of Representatives. The American people are demanding health care, and it is time for us to stand up and deliver. By passing the Ganske-Dingell Patients' Protection Act, patients will have access to emergency care, women will be able to see their OB-GYN without health plan interference, and children will have timely access to pediatric specialists. Mr. Speaker, make no mistake: the Ganske bill is comprehensive, quality health care; a positive step toward improving Americans' health care, putting health care ahead of profits. When it is time to vote for managed care, I urge my colleagues to vote for the reform that has an option that puts patients and doctors back in charge of their health care.
