HealthCare Summit House Republican Attendees

Who Will Be in the House from the House [Kathryn Jean Lopez]


Earlier this afternoon, John Boehner released the list of names of Republican House members who will be attending the White House health-care summit tomorrow:


WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today announced the House Republican participants for the White House health care summit on Thursday, as well as members of the House GOP’s Health Care “Truth Squad” – a team of Republicans ready to fact-check misstatements from Washington Democrats and highlight Republicans’ better solutions to lower health care costs – while the Republican summit team participates at the Blair House. Boehner issued the following statement:

“The American people want Washington to scrap this job-killing health care bill and start over with a step-by-step approach that will lower health care costs. That is not the ‘Republican’ view; it is the view of the American people. We’ve assembled a team of individuals who understand this, because they’ve been listening to the people they were sent to Washington to represent. We’ll be ready to remind our Democratic colleagues of this and discuss the alternative, step-by-step approach Republicans have offered when we go to the White House summit on Thursday.”
