Before he can tackle health care reform, Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., has to convince everyone that he himself is healthy.
Waxman fainted in his Los Angeles district office a week ago, and was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for tests.
But back from the Independence Day recess this week, Waxman assured a breakfast crowd he was OK.
“I’m healthy and ready to go into health care reform,” Waxman said at a breakfast hosted Wednesday by the National Journal Group.
He also got some plugs in for his new book, “The Waxman Report,” which is based on his 35 years in the House.
“There are a lot of things that Congress does that nobody pays attention to,” Waxman said, in explaining his motivation for the book.
