On the recordJune 18, 1998
I have had a bill before Congress with over 300 bipartisan cosponsors that my Republican leadership will not allow to the floor. It would ban gag clauses which prevent doctors from being able to tell their patients all of their treatment options. We are not saying the HMO has to cover all of those treatment options; we are simply saying that the HMO cannot restrict a physician from telling a patient all of their treatment options. That is what those gag clauses are. I cannot even get that to the floor.
