“I hope my colleagues have had the opportunity to read the heart-wrenching testimony presented by Leanne Dyess earlier this month before the Committee on the Judiciary. I hope their compassion will allow them to consider how it would feel if a similar tragedy befell someone they love simply because doctors had been pushed out of the area; and I hope they can recognize that, today, we have the opportunity to prevent such tragedies from happening to others. The HEALTH Act is about patients getting the best possible care they can when and where they need it. Dollar signs do not cure people; doctors do. Let us make sure doctors and other providers all across the country remain open for business. I urge a 'yes' vote on the rule and the underlying legislation. A 'yes' vote is a vote for patients.”
