“I have just looked over a list of amendments to the supplemental appropriations bill and noticed that several fall within the jurisdiction of the Finance Committee. I am most concerned about several hospital reclassification amendments that were filed. The House bill included reclassifications for hospitals in New York and Pennsylvania counties, and that has only fueled the fire of other members to get their ``rifle shot'' fixes in the bill too. I oppose these provisions, and I believe that Ranking Member Grassley shares my policy concerns.”
