Smith Statement On White House Health Care Summit
Statement
Issues: Health and Health Care
Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE) today released the following statement concerning today's televised health care summit between President Obama and Members of Congress.
"I am grateful President Obama finally sat down with Republicans to have a bipartisan conversation on health care - though this meeting should have happened a year ago.
"However, I'm disappointed the President came to the table with a proposal already rejected by the American people.
"We need to focus on true reform which lowers health care costs, limits unnecessary lawsuits, and expands access by allowing purchasing across state lines - not simply a government takeover which we already know will not control costs."
