Ross to hold conference call

At 11:00 this morning, Congressman Mike Ross will hold a press conference on the deal reached between Blue Dog Democrats and House leadership on health care reform and how the changes will impact Arkansas’s Fourth Congressional District. The update will be followed by a question and answer session with reporters. The deal led by Ross includes changes that would also cut costs by about $100 billion over 10 years. Ross has received a lot of press over his role in this legislation, which will move forward in the U.S. House prior to the August recess.
