WASHINGTON – The Republican National Committee announced a new web video today on the Democrats’ failure to listen to the American public’s concerns over health care reform.  The web video, entitled “Listen To Me,” can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKVfJm_S4H0.

“As President Obama, Harry Reid, and their liberal allies negotiate their government-run health care experiment behind the closed doors of the Capitol building, a majority of Americans from across the country are making it known that they oppose the Democrats’ liberal plans and favor a common-sense incremental approach to health care reform.  Unfortunately, it is becoming clear that the president and Harry Reid simply aren’t interested in what Americans want.  I encourage President Obama and Congressional Democrats to stop working in secret, start listening, and join with Republicans on health care reform that the American people actually want and deserve.” – RNC Chairman Michael Steele
