Mr. Chair, I really appreciate Mr. Falk's concern with this. When he initially raised it during our study of this very important legislation, I took a moment to look at it and really study it. I tend to agree with Mr. MacGregor and Mr. Bittle in that I think that these are measures.... I think your concern, Mr. Falk, has already been addressed by other regulations, other ways in which we can hold our medical professionals to account.
They are bound by a very powerful oath to protect the people that they treat. I think that oath is more powerful than what this proposed amendment would do.
