Ramsey Says Washington Health Care Summitt More Like A “Pageant”

Press Release from Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey, Feb. 24, 2010:

“Tomorrow’s health care meeting at the Blair House in Washington is more of a pageant than a summit. You’re going to see a bunch of Washington politicians trying to win the war of the sound bite and virtually no meaningful work on the issue of controlling health care costs. President Obama has refused to include even one Governor, Lieutenant Governor, or state Senate or House Speaker — despite the fact that he will force higher costs onto state governments if his health care takeover passes.

“If the President wants to put on a Washington talk show, he has the right crowd. But if he wants to hear the voice of the American people, he’s going to have to invite some people from the real world.”
