Boehner and small business: Does the thought really count?

At a press conference today, House Republican Leader John Boehner talked about the importance of helping small businesses create jobs to get the economy going again (see his “leader alert” here). Nice thought.
There’s just one problem: health care is one of the top issues small businesses need addressed so we can do our part for economic recovery – and Boehner is standing square in the way of real health reform. His political grandstanding against health care reform is, simply put, bad for small business.
Every day, small businesses are being forced to drop health coverage, lay off employees or shut their doors for good because of rising health care costs. Without reform, small business health care costs will more than double over the next ten years – we’ll pay close to $2.4 trillion in health care costs between now and 2018. That’s money small businesses could be using to create the jobs to jumpstart the economy.
So smaall business doesn't matter. Thats amazing since we pay the majority of all your tax increases, giving money to illegals, funding your private vacations, increased labor unions, etc, etc. Have you ever visited a real medical clinic? The one that struggles because they are not GOVERMENT FUNDED? Please come and visit me in Washington State, we will tour the Migrant Farmworker Taj Mahal. IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!! My taxpayer money paying for illegals in our country, I thought this was illegal? Washington State Grand Farmworker Carlos Olivares is waiting on building the 15 million dollar clinic, because people are in an uproar over healthcare. All you have provided for once again is the ILLEGALS, increasng their funding! You have no idea what the Medicare American people are suffering through. It will only get worse for them and better for ILLEGALS!! Heres a story for you, since you have quoted the other bunch of lies: A caucasion person needed Chantix to quit smoking, couldn't afford it, Medicare only. Called the Pharmaceutical company and they stated too bad she is not HISPANIC then she could get it for freeeee!!!!!
Our country will loose the finest physicians and medical care, I can't believe you don't get this. All your stories of the medical mis treatment on here, will be 50 times worse. No person will ever get treatment for Cancer, just the pill to die. All private physicians will have to work for the Government, and put all of his training, schooling and malpractice issues out the window. Get a clue, talk to a physician. What a novel idea, talk to a physician about Healthcare, Obama is neither educated nor competent on the matter. Just a puppet reading from a screen and saying, ahhhhh?????? Some research on the matter might give you a common sense approach. SAY BYE, BYE TO ALL THE GREAT PHYSICIANS, HELLO QUACKS!!!!! I CERTAINLY HOPE YOUR FAMILY DOESN'T NEED EXTENDED HEALTHCARE, OH THATS RIGHT, YOU ARE ABOVE EVERYTHING AND WILL SPEND MY MONEY TO GET THE TREATMENT YOU NEED.
