Boehner pledges to enact health plan if GOP wins during town hall

Boehner pledges to enact health plan if GOP wins during town hall
By Michael O'Brien - 11/05/09 03:07 PM ET


Republicans will enact the health reform proposal they unveiled this week if they take back the House, Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) pledged Thursday.

Appearing on the Republican National Committee's (RNC) online town hall, Boehner and other House and Senate leaders said they sensed momentum behind GOP efforts to halt Democratic health reform legislation, which is set for a vote on Saturday.

"If we get in the majority after the election, I plan to enact our healthcare plan," Boehner said during the town hall.

Appearing alongside Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence (R-Ind.), Boehner said that the thousands of protesters on Capitol Hill this afternoon demonstrated fervor against Democrats' health plans.

Not so important then huh?

Go get a tan bonehead. You're looking a little pale.
