U.S. Representative John Boehner
The President’s
Health Care Law Continues to Wreak Havoc
WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) issued the
following statement on the president’s health care law and its March 31
“deadline” for enrollment:
“The president’s health care law continues to wreak havoc on the
families, seniors, and small businesses in our area – the people who
make our corner of Ohio so great.
“I’ve said many times, the problem was never just about the website –
it’s the whole law. Millions of Americans are seeing their
premiums rise, not the lower prices the president promised. Many
small businesses are afraid to hire new workers, instead cutting hours
and dropping health coverage for existing employees. Many
Americans can no longer see their family doctor, despite the pledge no
one would lose access to their physician. Seniors are feeling the
impact, losing their Medicare Advantage plans the president promised
they could keep. And taxpayers are being forced to pick up an
unaffordable tab.
“House Republicans will continue to work to repeal this law and protect
families and small businesses from its harmful consequences, and that’s
why we’re taking action this week to repeal the law’s 30-hour rule that
has become a significant barrier to job growth and higher wages.
We will also continue our work to replace this fundamentally-flawed law
with patient-centered solutions focused on lowering health care costs
and protecting jobs.”
In March 2010, Congressman Boehner warned that the president’s health
care law would drive up costs, devastate coverage, and destroy jobs. He
led every single House Republican in voting against it.
