Richard Kirsch, national campaign manager for Health Care for America Now, issued today the following statement on the health care summit:

We appreciate President Obama’s attempt to reach out to Republicans one more time, but today’s bipartisan summit proved the GOP is committed to little else than repeating the same stale talking points.

We need reform to be sure that Americans are not left out or priced out of the best health care available. While the President and Congressional Democrats clearly understand our health care system is broken, Republicans at the summit showed they are grossly out of touch with the everyday struggles of working Americans when it comes to their being able to get the health care they need.

It’s now time for the President and Democrats to finalize a bill, and with or without their Republican colleagues, pass legislation that works for us – not the insurance companies – and gives us all good health care we can afford.
