Boehner: “A Somber Day for the American People”
GOP Leader: "The devastating consequences of this legislation will be felt in broken promises, higher costs, lost jobs and fewer freedoms."
Washington
(Mar 23)
House Republican Leader John Boehner issued the following statement after President Obama signed the Senate health care bill into law:
“This is a somber day for the American people. By signing this bill, President Obama is abandoning our founding principle that government governs best when it governs closest to the people. Americans have never felt more disconnected from their government than they do today.
“Never before has such a monumental change to our government been carried out without the support of both parties. This debate has fostered unprecedented division at a time when this nation needs to come together and address the serious challenges we face.
“The devastating consequences of this legislation will be felt in broken promises, higher costs, lost jobs and fewer freedoms. Republicans will continue to stand on principle, hold President Obama accountable for his promises, and fight to repeal this government takeover of health care so we can start over on common-sense reforms that lower costs for families and small businesses.”
