not the f.t.c., the department of justice. it doesn't make any sense. but what does make sense is there are lots of companies going through lots of things caused in part by obamacare forcing health care providers, insurance companies and others to look at mergers and acquisitions. and when they do so, the public should have the right to know that justice is being done. this is not about big business or small business, this is about making sure that the laws are fairly and equally applied. and when that happens, we should have this legislation at hand so that we have the assurance that we are going to have justice done. thef.t.c. should operate by same merger review processes and standards that the department of justice does. i believe in the vigorous prosecution of antitrust practices and transactions by the department of justice and the f.t.c. and would not support the smarter act if i thought it would disadvantage our antitrust enforcement agencies. the congressional record demonstrates that the smarter act makes the process more fair and predictable b
