Health Care Solutions Group to Host America Speaking Out Forum on Job-Killing Impact of ObamaCare

Contact: Brendan Buck, 202-225-4000 

WASHINGTON, June 16 /Standard Newswire/ -- In partnership with the groundbreaking America Speaking Out initiative, the House GOP Health Care Solutions Group will hold a forum this TOMORROW, June 17 at 9:00 a.m. to examine the recently enacted health care law and its consequences for job creators. In concert with America Speaking Out, members of the Solutions Group will use Thursday's forum to continue a dialogue with the American people, giving them a voice in the creation of a new governing agenda for Congress.

Members and expert witnesses will examine alternative approaches to expand access to health care without stifling job creation, including ideas proposed by the public and other members at AmericaSpeakingOut.com, such as Rep. Dave Camp's proposal brought to the floor yesterday to repeal the job-killing and unconstitutional individual mandate -- that idea can be found here.

Following the forum, members and panelists will hold a media availability. The forum can be monitored live via webcast at http://health.burgess.house.gov or on Twitter by following @GOP_HCSG.
