Jim McDermott: “This committee does a lot of things here, but most of them are irrelevant. But it seems to me that we ought to be…”

In my opinion, it could be one of the most important hearings we have held during my time as ranking member on the subcommittee.

The bottom line, as far as I am concerned, is what happens to patients.

It has been a pleasure serving on this committee.

This committee has the potential of doing more good for the American people than perhaps any other single subcommittee in the Congress.
