Reclaiming my time, here is another loophole in the Senate GOP bill. Who gets to select that external reviewer according to the Republican plan in the Senate? On page 47, the plan gets to select that, quote, independent reviewer. That certainly was not in the version that passed the House. Here is another loophole. Does that independent reviewer, is that in the House bill a person who has expertise related to that problem? You betcha. What about in the Senate? Only if a specialist is, quote, reasonably available would you get, for instance, an orthopedist reviewing an orthopedic problem. These are just multiple things that you can go through nearly every page.
