Q: The White House has formally invited members of Congress to President Barack Obama's bipartisan health care meeting on Feb. 25. 
  
  
  
 The invitation from Rahm Emanuel, White House chief of staff, and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius was sent Friday afternoon to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Rep. John Boehner, the top Republican in the House, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. 
  
  
  
 McConnell issued a statement Friday evening saying that "As we have over the past year, Republicans will continue to offer the types of ideas and step-by-step approach that Americans are calling for." While the letter laid out an agenda for the meeting, McConnell said that "we will consult with the White House about the proposed format and topics in order to maximize the effectiveness of the meeting." Most Republicans have yet to commit to the meeting, but Obama has invited House and Senate leadership, as well as the chairmen and ranking members of relevant committees (full list here ). He's also asked Pelosi, Reid, Boehner and McConnell to each choose another four members and one staffer specializing in health care policy to attend the meeting. 
  
  
  
 "This leaves a lot of unanswered questions. Are they excluding governors, state legislators, CBO, and rank-and-file congressional Democrats who have opposed Obamacare and are the reason the president hasn't had a bill to sign? Are Congressional Democrats still working behind closed doors with White House support on a 'pre-negotiated package' that can be rammed through Congress after the summit via legislative tricks? Or are they willing to start over with a blank sheet of paper?" said Boehner spokesman Michael Steel. "We need answers before we know if the White House is more interested in partisan theater than in facilitating a productive dialogue about solutions." 
  
  
  
 The White House plans to post online the bill that Republicans have said needs to be scrapped in order for them to come to the negotiating table. 
  
  
  
 "Since this meeting will be most productive if information is widely available before the meeting, we will post online the text of a proposed health insurance reform package," the invite says. "It is the President’s hope that the Republican congressional leadership will also put forward their own comprehensive bill to achieve those goals and make it available online as well." 
  
  
  
 The legislation that will be posted online is a "product of the discussions between the House and Senate," a White House official said, adding that Democrats are still working to bridge the differences between the two bills, and the end result is what will ultimately be posted online. The official said more details will be released going forward. 
  
  
  
 The invitation lays out the meeting agenda: Obama will deliver opening remarks, it explains, then hand the mic off to "a Republican leader chosen by the Republican leadership and a Democratic leader chosen by the Democratic leadership." 
  
  
  
 "The President will then open and moderate discussion on four critical topics: insurance reforms, cost containment, expanding coverage, and the impact health reform legislation will have on deficit reduction," says the invite. 
  
  
  
 The invite also nudges back against GOP complaints that Obama did not make good on his campaign pledge to air health care negotiations on C-SPAN - a criticism that Obama has said is legitimate. 
  
  
  
 In highlighting the efforts over the past year to craft health care legislation, the invitation points out that "there have been hundreds of hours of committee hearings and mark-ups in both the House of Representatives and Senate, with nearly all of those sessions televised on C-SPAN." 
  
  
  
 "The Blair House meeting is the next step in this process," the invitation says. "The session will begin at 10:00 a.m. and be broadcast live in its entirety." 
  
  
  
 Joining Obama at the meeting from the White House will be Vice President Biden, Nancy-Ann DeParle, director of the Office of Health Reform, Sebelius and a representative from the Office of Management and Budget.

 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Senator Reid, Senator McConnell, and Representative Boehner: 
  
  
  
 We are writing to ask that you join President Obama for a bipartisan meeting at the Blair House on February 25 to discuss health reform legislation. 
  
  
  
 We have seen again in recent days that when it comes to health care, the status quo is unsustainable and unacceptable. The proof is right in front of us: just last week, a major insurer, Anthem Blue Cross, announced plans to increase premiums for many of its policyholders in California by as much as 39 percent on March 1. 
  
  
  
 As the President noted this week, if we don’t act on comprehensive health insurance reform, this enormous rate hike will be "just a preview of coming attractions. Premiums will continue to rise for folks with insurance; millions more will lose their coverage altogether; our deficits will continue to grow larger." 
  
  
  
 Now is the time to act on behalf of the millions of Americans and small businesses who are counting on meaningful health insurance reform. In the last year, there has been an extraordinary effort to craft effective legislation. There have been hundreds of hours of committee hearings and mark-ups in both the House of Representatives and Senate, with nearly all of those sessions televised on C-SPAN. The Senate spent over 160 hours on the Senate floor considering health insurance reform legislation and, for the first time in history, both the House of Representatives and Senate have approved comprehensive health reform legislation. This is the closest our Nation has been to resolving this issue in the nearly 100 years that it has been debated.

A: 
The White House today sent out invitations for its Feb. 25 health-reform summit, detailed the format for the televised proceedings, and said it would post its own proposal online ahead of time. The leaders of both parties in the House and Senate are on the list, and tasked with choosing more legislators to bring along. Per the plan—of which Republicans have been suspicious and say might keep them from attending—the event will kick off with President Obama and a member of each party speaking. Then, according to the letter from White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel and Health secretary Kathleen Sebelius, Obama “will then open and moderate discussion on four critical topics: insurance reforms, cost containment, expanding coverage, and the impact health reform legislation will have on deficit reduction.” The GOP has many questions, a spokesman tells Politico. “We need answers before we know if the White House is more interested in partisan theater than in facilitating a productive dialogue about solutions.”
