Hoyer Statement on Announced Bipartisan Meeting on Health Insurance Reform

WASHINGTON, DC – Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (Md) issued the following statement today after President Obama announced his intention to conduct a bipartisan meeting on health insurance reform:

“The President’s invitation to a bipartisan meeting on health insurance reform is an opportunity for Democrats and Republicans to engage on how best to provide greater health care security for all Americans.

“I am hopeful that we can. I reached out to Republicans on several occasions to solicit their ideas and feedback last year. I was, however, disappointed that these meetings did not result in any serious follow through to work together in a bipartisan fashion.

“As the President’s invitation demonstrates, we are ready to work with Republicans who are sincere about providing constructive solutions to our common challenges and willing to reach bipartisan compromise.”
