Legislative Update:
President Obama hosted a bipartisan Health Care summit with members of both the House and Senate on Thursday, February 25th. Prior to the meeting, the President released his proposal, which is meant to build off the Senate-passed health care bill. The National Restaurant Association issued a statement in response to the White House proposal, emphasizing our top industry proposals and expressing concern about the legislation overall. Our statement is available here.
The summit has yet to yield any decisions. A March 1st Washington Post article offers context on the Administration's strategy and options for moving the legislation forward. It is anticipated that the President and Democratic congressional leaders will make a public statement shortly.

Achieving comprehensive health care reform that encompasses the National Restaurant Association's key principles is critical to the continued viability of America's restaurant industry.
As stakeholders in our industry, I urge you to contact your Members of Congress and tell them what we need out of health care reform in order to be successful. With 945,000 restaurant and foodservices outlets and a workforce of 13 Million employees, we can't afford not to be heard.
In addition, use this website to learn the facts, stay informed and provide us with feedback on one of the most important legislative issues for our industry.
