Statement from Conservatives for Patients' Rights Chairman Rick Scott on the President's Planned Health Care Summit:
"If the President is sincerely committed to resetting the health care reform process by finding common, bipartisan ground on how to lower costs and improve care while protecting patients' rights, then we applaud his efforts. However, if it is the President's intent to use the appearance of bipartisanship as a prop to try and ram through his health care plan, which the American public has already rejected, then voters will likely see right through it and continue to punish him and his party at the polls.
"Americans want reform that lowers their health care costs and improves quality while protecting their rights. As we've consistently promoted for the past year, these goals can be achieved without busting the federal budget or creating new government bureaucracies by following four simple pillars that focus on promoting choice, competition, accountability and personal responsibility."
