Danny Davis: “I support patients' rights, but I do not want to support putting a cap on unnecessary pain and suffering. I support…”

On the recordAugust 2, 2001
I support patients' rights, but I do not want to support putting a cap on unnecessary pain and suffering. I support patients' rights, but I do not support greed and unaccountability. I support the rights of patients to interact with their doctors to make decisions. I can tell my colleagues that the doctors in my district support Dingell-Ganske. They have been calling all day saying do not vote for Norwood, vote for Dingell-Ganske. I follow the doctors in my community, and I urge all of us to vote for Dingell-Ganske.
