HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
LEGISLATION

"Today, our Republican colleagues are wasting a golden opportunity to make real progress in an area that most Members of Congress support – Health Information Technology. We have a chance to not only save money and time, but also save lives. We have a chance to help providers transform their practices so that they can better serve the needs of their patients and electronically communicate with other providers, health plans, and the Government. . . . the bill we have before us falls short." -- July 27, 2006, Statement of Ranking Member John D. Dingell

"Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to this rule. There once was a time when we considered legislation under open rules. Any Member could offer an amendment. That was the way I, as Chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, brought bills to the House floor."
-- July 27, 2006, Statement on the Rule of Ranking Member John D. Dingell
