What are the Republicans going to do about it? A wise gambler would place his money on the GOP not doing very much.
John Boehner owns $5,000,000 <- million in healthcare stock.
He could have stopped this in 2009 or anytime since but he and others are making lots of money.
How in the world was John Boehner going to stop Obamacare in 2009? He was the House minority leader which means he had no control over anything that was passed by the House. He couldn’t filibuster, he couldn’t propose amendments and he couldn’t do anything to stop Pelosi from having a vote. I don’t know you can blame Boehner, especially since he and every other House Republican voted against the bill.
I’m all for critiquing Boehner’s lack of action concerning Obamacare since he became Speaker. However it’s completely unnecessary to attack him for the bill passing in 2009 when he had no power to stop it.
