“I will also just state, with what little time I have remaining, that the Coats amendment has the support of the AMA, the American Medical Association, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Accrediting Council for Graduate Medical Education. So the very organizations that are most directly involved in this have looked at the Coats amendment, and they have said it is a reasonable amendment and they not only do not oppose it, they support it. So the very organizations that are held up as being the objectors to this are supporters of the Coats amendment, and I hope my colleagues will use that as a basis for their determination.”
