Statement of Congressman John D. Dingell on the President’s Principles for a Patients’ Bill of Rights

 
"I am pleased the President supports many of the same principles outlined in the Bipartisan Patient Protection Act and commend him for bringing his ideas to the table. However, the principals raise a number of questions which must addressed. I am willing to work with the President in a bipartisan manner to get an effective and enforceable Patients’ Bill of Rights passed by both houses of Congress, one that fully protects patients and the doctor-patient relationship."
