Boehner's Blog
“More than two dozen states challenging the health-care overhaul urged a U.S. appeals court yesterday to strike down the landmark law, arguing that it far exceeds the federal government's powers.
“Allowing the law to go forward, the states argued in the 69-page filing, would set a troubling precedent that 'would imperil individual liberty, render Congress's other enumerated powers superfluous, and allow Congress to usurp the general police power reserved to the states.'"
As the states move ahead with their efforts to block ObamaCare’s unconstitutional mandates in court, Congressman Boehner is doing his part in Washington on behalf of American families and small businesses who want nothing to do with all the tax increases, cost hikes and red tape in the President’s $2.6 trillion government takeover of health care.
In February, John lead House Republicans in unanimously voting to repeal ObamaCare in its entirety – keeping their Pledge to America. While Washington Democrats continue to block full repeal in the Senate, John hasn’t given up, and is working to take apart this job-crushing law piece by piece.
And last summer, John signed on to the Ohio Health Care Freedom Amendment, a proposed state constitutional amendment that Tea Party leaders hope to have on this November’s ballot to protect Ohioans from ObamaCare’s costly, jobs-killing federal health care mandates.

Representative Boehner, It is
Tue, 05/17/2011 - 20:34 — Rhonda Wright, R.N. (not verified)Representative Boehner, It is my understanding that healthcare costs are out of control because of poor people who do not have healthcare. Can't we provide community services that cover those without insurance due to poverty whether they work or not. If we improved our community services and used Nurse Practitioners and RN's for basic screenings and treatment of common ailments such as colds, flu, urinary tract infections and upper respiratory infections that I believe a Nurse Practiioner could do and the RN's could educate these people on basic healthcare practices that would help eliminate germs, such as handwashing, eating healthy foods, lowering salt intake and other simple solutions to some of healthcare problems would not this small investment in the poor eliminate a big problem of them putting off healthcare until they had to go the hospital for more expensive treatment? I work at Good Samaritan Hospital in Dayton and I see many poverty stricken patients who do not have a primary care physician due to no insurance but they end up in the hospital for blood sugars out of control because they lost their insurance and don't have themoney to buy or the knowledge of where to get their medications to keep them out of the hospital. Many of these people use the hospital as their only means of healthcare and wait too late to see a practitioner to help them. There are many better solutions than Obama's mandated healthcare. Please think about my suggestions, I do think that Nursing has a better solution than mandated insurance. How are the Poor going to pay for it, many of our poor work more than one job and still don't have enough to pay for insurance.
Thank you,
Rhonda Wright, R.N.
