Sherrod Brown: “To follow up, if I may, my understanding of the reading of the Domenici amendment is that he does exempt from these…”

On the recordSeptember 5, 1996
To follow up, if I may, my understanding of the reading of the Domenici amendment is that he does exempt from these limitations restrictions to small employers. That, I think, is a commendable aspect of his amendment. But I do not see an amendment that provides the exemption that the Senator just talked about. As a matter of fact, the way I read the amendment--and perhaps the Senator will want to clarify it or set me straight on it--the way I read it, it says precisely that you cannot do what the Senator describes, that you cannot have a plan that has $1 million for physical coverage and $100,000 for mental health coverage.
