SECTION: CAPITOL HILL HEARING TESTIMONY

LENGTH: 610 words

HEADLINE: TESTIMONY March 02, 2000 BILL THOMAS REPRESENTATIVE HOUSE WAYS AND MEANS PATIENTS BILL OF RIGHTS

BODY:
March 2, 2000 Opening Statement of Ways and Means Health Subcommittee Chairman Bill Thomas (R-CA) on the Patients' Bill of Rights Conference Committee: One out of every six Americans doesn't have the peace of mind that health care coverage provides. That's why helping Americans and their families get the most basic patient protection of all - health insurance - must remain our top priority throughout this Conference Committee. A major source of America's frustration today with HMOs is the lack of control which patients and doctors feel. Patients want to be able to pick up the phone and get an appointment to see their doctor. Doctors want more time with their patients and to treat them as they see fit. True health care reform means protecting patients and ensuring access to affordable health care when they need it. We can get this done this year. This issue is too important to be clouded by election-year politics and grandstanding.
