On the recordJune 19, 2001
The reason I asked the Senator this question is that the Senator in his chart said it is a bipartisan bill. McCain a Republican, Edwards a Democrat from the South, Kennedy a Senator from Massachusetts, they are the chief sponsors of this legislation. This is bipartisan legislation. We have some courageous people who have said we have had enough of this. This legislation, I have heard the Senator say, is supported by every consumer group in America plus every medical group in America, subspecialty group, specialty group, the American Medical Association, and even the lawyers support this. I don't know of a time in the past where you have the American Medical Association and the trial lawyers together. Does the Senator know another occasion?
