John Bel Edwards said "What we do in this bill is we give the Secretary of Labor responsibility for setting up the process. But in setting up the process, the Secretary is required to not allow any of the people involved to be able to influence who is on the panel and who is involved. We believe very strongly--it is the reason we address it in the bill--that the HMO and the people involved should have no role; instead, we should have an impartial process. Just like you want an impartial jury, you have an impartial review process." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
