“I thank my friend from Massachusetts for yielding me this time. The Hippocratic Oath says ``primum non nocere''; ``first, do no harm.'' This bill violates the Hippocratic Oath in all respects. Twenty-four million people losing their health care, our friend from Wyoming thinks that is a choice? A string of benefits required to be covered by insurance companies to protect consumers, to protect our loved ones when they get ill, vitiated.

It is the wrong path to take, and I urge defeat of this legislation in its entirety. Parliamentary Inquiry”
