Boehner gets tough and takes a stand that represent his caucus membership. And his demands are most reasonable.

Press Release

WASHINGTON, DC – House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), and GOP Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) released the following joint statement:

“The American people don’t want a government shut down and they don’t want ObamaCare. That’s why later today, the House will vote on two amendments to the Senate-passed continuing resolution that will keep the government open and stop as much of the president’s health care law as possible.

“The first amendment delays the president’s health care law by one year. And the second permanently repeals ObamaCare’s medical device tax that is sending jobs overseas.

“Both of these amendments will change the date of the Senate CR to December 15th. We will also vote on a measure that ensures our troops get paid, no matter what.

“We will do our job and send this bill over, and then it’s up to the Senate to pass it and stop a government shutdown.”

Editor's notes:  You should know that ObamaCare is simply not ready for prime time.  NONE of the 50 exchanges are up and running as promised.  There are no comprehensive security checks in place to protect your information.  The employer mandate has been postponed until 2015,  and, there is no system in place to verify individual incomes,  income needed to determine subsidy needs for the working poor.   

The Speaker's postponement may not be enough time.  If we are going to have to bear this legislative idiocy,  certainly,  it  needs to be fully implemented in total.
