On the recordSeptember 11, 1996
I want her to understand that it has not been particularly pleasant to spend the afternoon taking different positions with somebody I admire. We have my amendment which passed 51 to 48, but did not get 60 votes, on a proposal that keeps these health maintenance plans from imposing gag rules that keep their patients from getting a full range of information about medical services and treatments and their health care options. My amendment does not deal with the abortion issue. Perhaps some may have thought it did. It simply deals with all of those physical and mental health services and the treatment options that patients need to make decisions.
