Boehner: Health ruling shows need to repeal law
WASHINGTON — House Speaker John Boehner says the Supreme Court ruling upholding the individual insurance requirement at the heart of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul shows the need to repeal the law.
The Ohio Republican says in a statement that the law is hurting the economy by increasing health care costs and making it difficult for small businesses to hire.
He says the court's ruling demands repeal of the entire law.
Boehner say Americans want a common-sense approach to health care. He says Republicans are ready to work with a president who's willing to listen to the people and “will not repeat the mistakes that gave our country 'Obamacare.'”
