Congressman John Boehner Declares that the Democrat Health Care Plan is Dead

cnsnews.com reports that, “House Minority Leader John Boehner (R.-Ohio) said today that the health-care plan that President Barack Obama is pushing in Congress is now dead and will not pass.”

Boehner made the observation in an interview this morning on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” where he appeared after President Obama.

“There’s been no bipartisan conversation on Capitol Hill about health care,” Boehner said in an interview with “Meet the Press” host David Gregory. “At some point when these big government plans fail—and they will, the Congress will not pass this—it’s really time for the president to hit the reset button, just stop all of this and let’s sit down and start over in a bipartisan way to build a plan that Americans will support.”

“So you think the plan is dead?” asked Gregory.

“I think it is,” said Boehner.

Earlier in the program, President Obama had said that news coverage of the health care debate over the past week had been dominated not by “the sensible people” but by people stoking controversy.

In his own appearance, Boehner rejected the contention that the “tone” of the debate over health-care reform had gotten out of control, saying instead that it has been a “spirited” debate and that more Americans had been engaged in debating health-care reform than had been engaged in debating any issue in decades.
