The Following can be attributed to Rep. Conyers:

“Tomorrow is a monumental day because it marks the beginning of a cooperative effort between the President, Congress, and vital stakeholders to come together to secure universal health care for all Americans. Serious reform of the health care system is the first step towards economic recovery. I am pleased to take part in this critical discussion on health care reform with the President, medical professionals, healthcare scholars, patients’ advocates, and labor leaders. Those who have been working so tenaciously for single-payer reform to our health care system will finally have their voices heard. Our goal: quality health care for all.

4. yup. But they ARE going to be at the meeting.

I wish this was being broadcast somewhere. I'd really like to hear their justifications for not being told to go jump in a lake. It would be very interesting.
