The Citizens’ Health Care Working
Group is composed of 15 members: The
Secretary of DHHS is designated as a
member by statute and the Comptroller
General of the U.S. Government
Accountability Office (GAO) was
directed to name the remaining 14
members whose appointments were
announced on February 28, 2005.

to ongoing Working Group business.
Topics to be addressed are expected to
include: logistics of community
meetings, the questions and discussion
guide for community meetings and the
Working Group’s Web site, involvement
of national organizations in outreach,
