Patrick Leahy actually said...

"I do not see how somebody can say with a straight face that they should not be subject to the same antitrust laws as everyone else."

"I will ask consent to put in the record a letter from the American Hospital Association..."

"the insurance industry's exemption from the Federal antitrust laws... has served the financial interests of the insurance industry, but I do not see where it has helped the consumers at all."

"I will submit my questions for the record, and we will keep the record open for others."
