Boehner Seeks Cuts to Obamacare in Fiscal Cliff Negotiations
Posted at 1:30 p.m. on Nov. 21, 2012
House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) wrote in the Cincinnati Enquirer that President Obama’s health care reform law “has to stay on the table as both parties discuss ways to solve our nation’s massive debt challenge.”
“Over the past couple of years, I have noted there are essentially three major routes to repeal of the president’s law: the courts, the presidential election process and the congressional oversight process. With two of those three routes having come up short, the third and final one becomes more important than ever.”
“Vigorous oversight of the health care law by the House can be expected and, in fact, is already under way. The House Ways & Means Committee recently issued a subpoena directing that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services turn over any and all information regarding how taxpayer dollars have been used to promote Obamacare.”
