I've heard this argument as well and I think we have to recognize where this argument is coming from. I think the idea that somebody is going to modify a piece of equipment to be dangerous or inappropriate is not realistic. We've seen this within the auto industry. People who are going to repair something and want to repair something either have the skills to do it or they don't, and if they don't, they take it to somebody who does. What this bill will do is it will allow that consumer to choose where they take that device or piece of equipment to be repaired. It allows for them to not have to necessarily go to one single-source person who can set the price and there's nothing you can do about it.
We look at the auto industry as an example. I have the comfort level to replace the oil in my car, and I used to feel comfortable—not anymore—going as far as replacing brakes. If all of a sudden the transmission goes, I'm not going to take that thing apart and try to fix it myself. I'm going to take that to somebody who is trained and has the know-how to do that.
The comments that it's going to lead to this or lead to that are really disrespectful to the average consumer who clearly doesn't want to take on a project for something that would either be harmful to them or potentially destroy the piece of equipment that they have.
