I come to the floor today as the Senate returns to give a doctor's second opinion of the health care law. As someone who has taken care of families in the State of Wyoming since 1983, to give a doctor's second opinion of the new health care law and what I view is the impact it is going to have on health care in this country. My concern was that it was going to be bad for patients, bad for providers--the nurses and doctors who take care of those patients--and bad for payers, the people paying their health care costs, as well as the taxpayers of this country. Here we are just 6 months later, but the new law is not greeted with happiness. It is not greeted with wonderment.
