Ron Wyden said "I think that is what Dr. Ganske did when he took this up in the House, a Republican physician, who said that what we need to do is help people. We certainly are not helping people by having these gag rules that keep people from knowing about their rights much. So the House, as we have discussed, and in the committee on a unanimous basis, said we are going to stand up for the patients, we are going to stand up for the providers, the vast majority of doctors who are honest and ethical, and want to tell their patients about their rights. And it made great bipartisan progress. That is what I want to do here." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
