Boehner Threatens to Defund Obamacare if GOP Wins House
March 27, 2010

As predicted by none other than your's truly both here in my last post Real Vote on Obamacare Takes Place this November, as well as in a couple of posts over at Mainstream180, Republican House Minority leader John Boehner has now stated on the record the should Republicans gain back power in the House of Representatives, that they would retroactively kill Obamacare by refusing to fund it.
All budgetary matters must originate in the House, so whichever party controls that part of the government ultimately has the last word on healthcare reform, and just about anything else for that matter.
I fully expect Republicans to campaign on the issue, and Democrats who voted for it will most certainly face an uphill battle this November.
If you'd like to read my other recent post on this topic, check it out the post I wrote at Mainstream180 blog explaining why Obamacare is Dead, in spite of everything you're hearing on the news and in the media.
