Congressman Steve Scalise made the following statement about President Obama and Speaker Pelosi holding their health care discussions behind closed doors. President Obama said on multiple occasions that they would have the health care debate in public and broadcast it on C-SPAN.
"Speaker Pelosi and her liberal lieutenants are meeting behind closed doors to make secret changes to their government takeover of health care, while locking the American people out. President Obama promised multiple times that they would hold all of these health care meetings in public so that C-SPAN cameras can be there and the American people can see what's happening. Unfortunately they have broken that promise and continue cutting backroom deals behind closed doors."
