Boehner: ‘Obamacare Is The Law Of The Land’
As ABC News reports, House Speaker John Boehner has confirmed that the House GOP will no longer attempt to repeal Obamacare. When asked about the future of the health care reform law, Boehner said “the election changes that” and “Obamacare is the law of the land.” During President Obama’s first term, House Republicans spent over 80 hours and $50 million dollars on more than 30 failed attempts to repeal Obamacare.

Boehner spox clarifies re: Obamacare: "Speaker Boehner and House Republicans remain committed to repealing the law"

Speaker John Boehner @SpeakerBoehner

ObamaCare is law of the land, but it is raising costs & threatening jobs. Our goal has been, and will remain, #fullrepeal.
