Five Democratic senators wrote a letter to the incoming Speaker of the House, John Boehner, promising to block any attempt to repeal Obamacare. The speaker's office wrote back the following response:
Senators Reid, Durbin, Schumer, Murray and Stabenow:
Thank you for reminding us – and the American people – of the backroom deal that you struck behind closed doors with ‘Big Pharma,’ resulting in bigger profits for the drug companies, and higher prescription drug costs for 33 million seniors enrolled in Medicare Part D, at a cost to the taxpayers of $42.6 billion.
The House is going to pass legislation to repeal that now. You’re welcome.
- Speaker-Designate John Boehner’s Press Office
Nice to see the Republicans showing a little cojones for a change.
