Boehner: ObamaCare Will Increase Spending, Increase Taxes, & Destroy Jobs

At a press conference today, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) made the case for repealing the job-destroying ObamaCare law and replacing it with common-sense reforms that will lower costs, expand access, and protect jobs.

@MrBloograss Don't worry about his tough talk, his spine has become useless. This is the same guy who on more than one occasion said that there would be no compromise on raising the debt ceiling. We know how well that went!

@sortathesame I hope you fuckin die in a burning train crash where you have to slowly burn to death and also watch your family and children burn to death too you rich white, racist, facist, bastard

Don't recall John Boehner working up any tears over the plight of 9/11 First responders. Wasn't even there to vote!

@sortathesame When your lying in a hospital bed paralyzed on the left side of your body and it is 2 days before your scheduled surgery. You may want to shop around. As I stated I was lucky I could afford the surgery.

Health Care Reform Law saids the Ins co's NOW have to spend 85% of the recieved premiums on YOU not the 25% they were spending before the law. DONT BELIEVE THE DEBATE IS ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE They dont want to pay up when you get sick, its that simple.

@m530bc, Well that was mighty foolish of you! You should have asked around and found a teaching hospital that would take your case pro bono! When my sister was diagnosed with a serious melanoma on her face she received every dime of her $500,000 treatment, including 5 years follow up care completely free because she allowed her case to be used to teach students. You would have had some of the best doctors in the country on your case and medical students would have learned a lot!

@NewWorldOrderRED, are you talking about the turtle tunnels and the research in to how cocaine effects monkeys? Those jobs that cost the taxpayer $270,000 each for a job that would have cost the private sector about $45,000? Surely you aren't talking about all those massive spending bills of Obama's...because the consensus is that THOSE were a miserable, very expensive, debt inducing, failures!

[sortathesame]

@m530bc, no one gave any tax cuts to the rich...Republicans simply did not raise taxes on anyone! Obama wanted to raise taxes for the group that produces 70% of our jobs, you call them rich! Boehner didn't say there would be new jobs immed. after the Bush tax cuts were extended, he said there would be massive job LOSSES if the tax cuts were NOT extended. BTW, since Republican's have taken control of the House and stopped Obama's spending spree we ARE seeing more businesses beginning to hire.

Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), who campaigned on a pledge to repeal health reform, gained notoriety shortly after being elected when he complained about a delay in receiving his government-sponsored health care benefits as a member of Congress. While repeal efforts have unified most Republicans, Harris’ comments sparked a debate within the GOP caucus over charges of hypocrisy. How about you John Boehner,Ron Paul ect...
