QUOTED. Jan. 21, 2019. Diana DeGette.

Diagnostics regulatory reform is on the agenda of the US House Energy and Commerce Committee this year. See what Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., a senior member of the committee, who helped introduce the 'Verifying Accurate Leading-edge IVCT Development Act' (VALID Act), a proposed diagnostics reform bill, had to say about device safety here.

“Device safety is always an issue in the committee, although it’s not going to be at the top of our list for the first part of this year. The top thing we really want to do in the Democratic Caucus is to work on making health care more accessible and more affordable for more Americans."—Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., member, US House Energy and Commerce Committee
