Boehner, McConnell Celebrate New Majority by Calling for Obamacare Repeal
House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and Senate Majority Leader-in-waiting Mitch McConnell (R-KY) penned an op-ed in the Wall Street JournalThursday morning outlining their priorities for the next few years. A big’un: repealing Obamacare. (The word “replace” does not appear in the op-ed.)
Looking ahead to the next Congress, we will honor the voters’ trust by focusing, first, on jobs and the economy,” the pair wrote. “[This] means renewing our commitment to repeal ObamaCare, which is hurting the job market along with Americans’ health care.”
The House of Representatives has passed countless bills repealing the president’s signature law, though thus far they’ve been symbolic votes. Now that the GOP controls the Senate, they could challenge the president to veto a bill repealing the law.
