“we have heard that we should should not make the perfect the enemy of the good. We have some people, I believe, who would like to make the perfect the enemy of the very, very, very good. We are about to set history here. This body has attempted to pass and enact into law reform of our financial services industry for I understand a decade and a half, and we have a product that the vast majority of stakeholders agree on. The medical privacy provisions happen to be something that I am very interested in as a physician, and I believe the language in this bill is pretty good. Can it be made better? Yes. As a matter of fact, we put provisions in the language that say if the administration passes regulations that are stronger, these provisions expire. We have language in there that says if this body enacts legislation signed by the President that is stronger, these provisions expire. So to oppose this bill now, at this point, when we have an extremely good product here, a very, very good product on this to me is a tremendous disservice. I believe that all of our colleagues on both sides of the aisle should support this, because this is extremely good for America.”
