Boehner: Let Senate Vote On ObamaCare Repeal

From Speaker of the House John Boehner:
Over the past year families and small businesses have spoken out about ObamaCare's job-destroying mandates, tax increases and cost hikes.  Yesterday a federal judge in Florida agreed that the President's health care law is not only unaffordable, but unconstitutional as well.
In his decision the judge cited a small business owner and plaintiff in Panama City, who indicated that the health care law is forcing her to consider “whether she can maintain her business,” or if she will be forced to “lay off employees” or “close her business” altogether.  This view is shared by a number of small businesses . . . which is why I'm hopeful that this case will soon come before the Supreme Court for swift and fair resolution. 
Of course, the easiest way to protect families and small businesses from this job-destroying health care law is to repeal it so we can start over with common-sense reforms that lower costs and protect jobs.  The House has passed legislation to do just that.  Now it is time for Democratic leaders in the Senate to heed the call of the American people, and allow this common-sense measure an up-or-down vote.
