Boehner Names Health Care Summit & “Truth Squad” Participants
Washington,
Feb 24 -
House
Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today announced the House
Republican participants for the White House health 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.”
