Washington, Feb 15 -

Cliff Stearns, (R-FL), Chairman of the Energy & Commerce Committee’s Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee.  “We need to determine the criteria for issuing or denying these waivers to the health care law, as well as learning more about why these waivers are necessary to protect these entities from the provisions of the health care law.”
