On the recordMarch 21, 2012
Where the amounts of moneys are not capped, where there are no caps, this bill places the $250,000 in. If there are no caps. That is an overriding of State law. No matter how you cut it, it's an overriding of State law enforcement. And you can't have your cake and eat it, too. I'm willing to celebrate the Affordable Care Act and eat the cake because it saves lives. But what you're doing here now is not. You're overriding State laws. Many States.
