Boehner praises
Senate GOP for seeking to Repeal Job-Destroying Health Care Law
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) issued the
following statement applauding Senate Republicans for keeping their
promise to seek repeal of the job-destroying health care law, and
vowing to continue working to repeal and replace it with common-sense
solutions that lower costs and protect jobs:
“I’m pleased Senate Republicans have kept their promise to seek repeal
of President Obama’s job-destroying health care law. Each day
this unconstitutional health care law is allowed to remain in effect –
with its burdensome mandates and tax hikes – it costs our country
jobs. People who create jobs – and those who need them –
agree. A group of 200 economists and experts have backed repeal
on account of the law’s ‘major barriers’ to job creation. If it’s
a jobs bill Senate Democratic leaders are looking to support, they
should join this effort to repeal the job-destroying health care
law. It’s the right thing to do, and the right time to do it.
“The need for repeal continues to become more clear, whether it’s in
the courts or the court of public opinion. We will keep our word
to the American people and continue working to repeal this
job-destroying health care law and replace it with common-sense reforms
that lower costs and increase access without putting more Americans out
of work. Our committees are hard at work. This debate has
just begun.”
NOTE: A recent Rasmussen survey found that “58 percent of likely voters
at least somewhat favor repeal of the health care law,” and a plurality
believes “repeal of the health care law will be good for the economy.”
A survey by Resurgent Republic found that a “plurality of registered
voters (49 to 44 percent) support Republican plans to repeal and
replace the health care reform bill, including a majority of
Independents (54 to 36 percent support).”
Editor’s Note: Senate
Dems voted down the repeal in a straight party-line vote.
