by Astrid Fiano, DOTmed News Writer | January 07, 2010

We now have another town venue and that is the Internet. And our legislation has had visibility for a very long time in that place...We don't know what route we will take. We will take the route that does the job for the American people. It gets this done in a timely fashion - in a city where the special interests are so entrenched and would like any avenue in order to stop this legislation. We will do what is necessary to pass the bill for affordable, accessible legislation which holds the insurance companies accountable and we will do it when we are ready and in a timely fashion."
