Franken to Price: ‘I Am Very Frightened’ About What You’re Going To Do with Healthcare

‘And, frankly, I know that you do things that help physician groups’

EXCERPT:

FRANKEN: "You know, in 2008, I would go around the state of Minnesota, in every VFW hall, in every cafe, I would see a bulletin board where it would have a burger bash or a spaghetti dinner for someone who had gone bankrupt because they had gone through their annual cap or their lifetime cap. I am very frightened about what you are going to do and so are millions of Americans. And, frankly, I -- I -- I know that you do things that help that physician groups. You’ve put in provisions that would prevent these findings by efficiency and innovation, boards that would have to be cleared by physician groups. I see you as someone who is therefore the doctor, and that this is a cover for -- this is not going to create access for all Americans, what you talked about, the Empowering Patients First Act."
