Dem rep. pushes back against ‘political rhetoric’ on health bill

Rep. Brian Higgins (D-N.Y.) joined the Obama administration on Monday in pushing back against skepticism of healthcare reform legislation, tweeting a link to a new White House healthcare reform website.

The third-term Democrat tweeted:

It’s time to tamp down the political rhetoric and take a look at the facts about health care reform. http://www.whitehouse.gov/r…

The new website is called “Health Care Reform Reality Check” and is part of a broader effort on behalf of the White House to respond to critics of healthcare reform.

The site features videos of White House officials that attempt to dispel “myths” about health insurance reform.
