John Kline I want to share with you the latest effort to stop Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama’s government takeover of health care: "Project Code Red." With Democrats using legislative tricks to quickly ram their bill through the Senate, the last line of defense will be the U.S. House of Representatives. That’s why I’m mobilizing t...he Kline for Congress campaign to help "Project Code Red" hold Democrats accountable for ignoring the American people and pushing a government takeover of health care.

"Some House Democrats insist no taxpayer money go to insurance plans that cover abortion. A view shared by Republicans who raised it with the President today."
John Kline I returned to the Capitol from the White House health care summit about 90 minutes ago. After seven hours at the Blair House, I am still wondering if the Democrats will heed the call of Americans and scrap their trillion-dollar government takeover of health care and finally agree to advance commonsense, bipartisan health care solutions?

John Kline About to conclude our first break during the White House summit on health care. This morning, I shared with the President a solution for lowering the cost of care for small businesses and their workers. My Republican colleagues and I are glad for this opportunity to offer the straightforward solutions the American people want and need.

John Kline On Thursday, I am joining a select group of Republican leaders to attend the White House health care summit. While I was hoping this would be a genuine attempt to hit the reset button and start from scratch with health care reform we can all support, it appears the President and Congressional Democrats are moving ahead... with policies similar to those the American people have already rejected. What are some principles or pillars of health care you think should be included in any reform?
