Mr. President, I would say to my colleague from Arizona--and there is actually a Mayo Clinic in Arizona, as there is in Florida and as there is in Rochester, MN, which is the home of the Mayo Clinic--one would think, since the President early on talked so much about the Mayo Clinic being a model for health care in the country, the Mayo Clinic might agree with what the President had to say. But if you go to the Mayo Clinic's blogs, they say: The proposed legislation misses the opportunity-- We have an opportunity now-- to help create high-quality, more affordable health care for patients. In fact, it will do the opposite. So here you are. The proposed legislation misses the opportunity to help create higher quality, more affordable health care for patients. In fact, it will do the opposite.
