For Your Health!

At the House Republicans’ recent weekend retreat, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney told them to come up with a health care plan before the Democrats.

Ladies and gentlemen, the House GOP Health Care Task Force!

  • Rep. Roy Blunt (R-MO), Chairman
  • Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX)
  • Rep. Judy Biggert (R-IL)
  • Rep. Charles Boustany (R-LA)
  • Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite (R-FL)
  • Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX)
  • Rep. Dave Camp (R-MI)
  • Rep. Nathan Deal (R-GA)
  • Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA)
  • Rep. Wally Herger (R-CA)
  • Rep. Lynn Jenkins (R-KS)
  • Rep. Howard P. “Buck” McKeon (R-CA)
  • Rep. Tim Murphy (R-PA)
  • Rep. Tom Price (R-GA)
  • Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)
  • Rep. John Shadegg (R-AZ)

Congressional Quarterly first noted that the members of the task force have collected nearly $3 million from health care PACs. I noticed that four members–Gingrey, Burgess, Murphy and Shadegg–were on a 2006 health care task force that didn’t do much beyond issuing statements in favor of health savings accounts.
