During the GOP leadership press conference Speaker John Boehner (R., OH) touched on the importance of the economy to the American people, and negative impact Obamacare is having on the American family.
Speaker Boehner stated, "The president's health care law continues to wreak havoc on American families, small businesses and our economy. And it's not just a broken website. This bill (sic) is fundamentally flawed, causing people to lose the doctor of their choice, causing them to lose their health plan."
Below is a transcript of Speaker Boehner remarks:
SPEAKER BOEHNER: Republicans continue to stay focused on the economy, and the fact is the American people want us to do everything we can to strengthen the economy so there'll be more jobs and higher wages available. This week we'll take further steps to strengthen our economy.
The president's health care law continues to wreak havoc on American families, small businesses and our economy. And it's not just a broken website. This bill (sic) is fundamentally flawed, causing people to lose the doctor of their choice, causing them to lose their health plan.
And if that wasn't enough, they're having to pay much higher prices at the same time. So House Republicans are going to continue to listen to our constituents, listen to the American people and try to focus on protecting them from a fundamentally flawed law.
