Boehner: Speaker Pelosi's Government Takeover of Health Care Will Dim the Light of Freedom

GOP Leader: Americans asking where are the jobs are getting more the same from out-of-touch Washington Democrats: more spending, more debt, and more government.

Washington, Nov 7 - WASHINGTON, D.C. House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) issued the following statement shortly after Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and House Democrats passed a 2,032-page, $1.3 trillion government takeover of health care:

I came here to renew the American Dream, so my kids and their kids have the same opportunities I had. I came here to fight big-government monstrosities like this bill that dim the light of freedom and diminish opportunity for future generations.

Americans want a common-sense approach to health care reform, not Speaker Nancy Pelosis 2,032-page government takeover that increases costs, adds to our skyrocketing debt, destroys jobs with tax hikes and new mandates, and cuts seniors Medicare benefits. Americans asking where are the jobs are getting more of the same from out-of-touch Washington Democrats: more spending, more debt, and more government.

Republicans have better solutions to lower costs and expand access to quality care especially for those with pre-existing conditions without adding to the crushing debt Washington has placed on our children and grandchildren. Our plan will lower premiums by up to 10 percent, making health care more affordable for families and small businesses. Thats what the American people want, and thats what Republicans will continue to fight for.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that the Commie-libs are stupid. They're not. They're Communists. Everything they are doing is intentional. They are trying to bring this country down.

1% of the american people own 99% of the wealth. The use that wealth to buy the policy makers. This happens on both sides of the aisle. The parties are mirror reflections of one another, both representing one thing - the interests of the 1%. That's how politics works in this day in age. So when you call one side Marxist, the other side is Facist. If you are part of the 99% and you believe that John Boner is telling you the truth, then you need to check the facts.

@JediMasterLego I have. And there is a picture of Obama under Marxism. Just ask him, he says he looked to his Marxist teachers for inspiration.

@iamzbacku Nazism, Socialism, Marxism, Communism, Democracy, Republic, all of these are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT types of government systems! LOOK THEM UP AND GET A FUCKING EDUCATION!!

John Boehner is about as trustworthy as that fake toupee he wears and the tears that he "TRIES" to choke up. He isn't concerned with anything but keeping popularity within his own party: making petty remarks at what he thinks is blows to president Obama. He just shows how ignorant he is.
