Boehner: Obamacare is 'Law of the Land' 08 Nov 2012 By Todd Beamon
House Speaker John Boehner said on Thursday that Obamacare was “the law of the land” – apparently conceding that GOP efforts to repeal President Barack Obama’s healthcare law have ended.
Boehner, the nation’s top elected Republican, hinted in an interview with ABC News that Congress would not undertake efforts to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
“The election changes that,” Boehner responded to a question about whether Congress would undertake repeal efforts next year. “It's pretty clear that the president was re-elected. Obamacare is the law of the land.

“I think there are parts of the healthcare law that are going to be very difficult to implement,” he added. “And very expensive. And as the time when we're trying to find a way to create a path toward a balanced budget, everything has to be on the table.”
When asked whether GOP legislators would spend time working to repeal Obamacare, Boehner reiterated: “There certainly may be parts of it that we believe need to be changed. We may do that. No decisions at this point.”
But Kevin Smith, a Boehner spokesman, sought to clarify the speaker’s remarks later on Thursday.
"While Obamacare is the law of the land, it is costing us jobs and threatening our health care," Smith told NBC News. "Speaker Boehner and House Republicans remain committed to repealing the law, and he said in the interview it would be on the table."

What we really needed was a law that prohibited members of Congress from seeking medical care.
“Know your enemy and know yourself, and in one hundred battles, you will never be beaten.”
What does the Democrat leadership care about health care professionals? They don’t. Any Doctor who voted for Obama has a fool looking back in the mirror.
The Democrat voters vote out of FEAR. That’s their motivation. They are afraid they’ll get sick and there won’t be any money left for them to live on. The Democrat grifter leadership uses that fear to get votes. Do the Democrat grifter leaders care if every Doctor in the US retires? Nope. They’ll have the money to go to Germany.
“If you don’t know yourself or your enemies, you will always be defeated.”
Congress and the Senate are EXEMPT from OBAMACARE!!! Time to march on DC!! If it’s “Good Enough” for us.......
And a BIG THANK YOU to Chief Justice Roberts for making up a taxing power that didn’t exist in Obamacare. Roberts single handedly saved Obamacare and now it is un-repealable (to coin a word).
We had one chance and ONLY one chance to repeal Obamacare, and that was before the parasites started to receiver free benefits. Like abortion and social security, it is too late to do anything with Obamacare now.
If you are over 70 years old, enjoy your death panels. At least now we don’t have to worry about Social Security going insolvent. If you are over 70 and need health care, they will just let you die and they save a decade or more of SS payments you would have collected by surviving your health ailment.
Because it doesn’t serve our overlords and masters who are implementing one-world government. They need to destroy the USA to get us out of the way of implementing one-world government.
Do you really think we the US people have anybody on our side? Really?
The fix is in. We have been sold out long ago.
No, the COVER STORY was that it was to insure 33 million people, mostly young people who don’t want to pay for insurance. Everybody knows that Obamacare won’t result in half these people being covered for health care.
The real reason for Obamacare was to hijack one-seventh of the US economy into hard socialist control, preparing us for the eventual gulags.
No, the Congress must raise the debt limit. This must be initiated in the House.
Stating the Obvious,it was the Law Of the land before the election.You cant repeal something the Democrats shoved down our throats when they still control the Damn Place.
