(PRNewsChannel) / September 22, 2010 / WASHINGTON / House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) issued the following statement marking the six-month anniversary of President Obama’s government takeover of health care:

“For the American people, ObamaCare represents everything that’s gone wrong with our government – all the uncertainty, overreaching, and broken promises. ObamaCare’s endless stream of mandates already has family-owned small businesses tied up in knots, making it harder to create jobs and invest in our economy. Premium hikes are increasing the strain on patients and families trying to keep up with the rising cost of care. These are signs of how quickly ObamaCare has become yet another Washington program that overspends and underdelivers.

“Over the last six months, Republicans have fought to protect patients, families and small business owners from ObamaCare's most burdensome mandates. Dozens of states have revolted, challenging this federal takeover through legislatures, courts, and ballot tests. The American people continue to speak out loudly and clearly against this job-killing monstrosity.

“Instead of spending more taxpayer dollars trying to market ObamaCare, Washington Democrats should work with Republicans to repeal and replace it with common-sense solutions focused on lowering costs and protecting American jobs.”

NOTE: In June, Leader Boehner released a report entitled: “ObamaCare: Three Months Of Broken Promises.” (http://gopleader.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=191846)  This report measures the law’s across-the-board failure to live up to Washington Democrats’ specific promises, including creating jobs, lowering costs, reducing the deficit, and protecting seniors’ benefits.
