Rep. Linda Sánchez and Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee discussed healthcare with President Barack Obama today at the White House.
"We had a very productive meeting with President Obama which underscored that we share a commitment to fixing our broken health care system," Sánchez said in a statement. "I told President Obama that health care reform should include as many people as possible, and a better safety net for those who will still have problems affording health insurance after the reforms are in place. These policies make sense for the economy, because they'll reduce emergency room use--the most expensive kind of care--and put the emphasis on cheaper preventive care, which will keep people healthy and working."
