Boehner: ‘Obamacare Is the Law of the Land’

House Speaker John Boehner: Obamacare Is the Law of the Land

WASHINGTON (TheBlaze/AP) — The long slog has turned into a sprint. President Barack Obama’s health care law survived the Supreme Court and the election; now the uninsured can sign up for coverage in about 11 months.

Even the government’s top-ranking Republican, House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, said Thursday in an interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer that “Obamacare is the law of the land.” But not all hurdles have been cleared.

“Well, I think the election changes that. It’s pretty clear that the president was reelected, Obamacare — is the law of the land. I think there are parts — of — the healthcare law that — are going to be very difficult to implement. And very expensive,” he said. “And as — the time when we’re trying to find a way to create a path — toward a balanced budget — everything has to be on the table.”

However, on his Twitter account on Thursday, Boehner clarified that his “law of the land” comment does not translate into support for the legislatin. “Our goal remains #fullrepeal,” he wrote via his official Twitter account.

Watch some of Boehner’s interview with ABC News here:

Republican governors who opposed the law also have to decide whether it’s better for their states to now help carry it out. The administration could stumble carrying out the complex legislation, or get tripped up if budget talks with Congress lead to scaling back the plan.

“We are out of the political gamesmanship and into the reality,” said Sandy Praeger, Kansas’ Republican insurance commissioner. Next week, states have to say if they’re committed to building the framework for delivering health insurance to millions.

“We are still going to be struggling through the politics, and there are important policy hurdles and logistical challenges,” said Andrew Hyman of the nonpartisan Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, helping states carry out the law. “But we are on a very positive trajectory.”

Instead of being dismantled by a Republican president and Congress, Obama’s law is now on track to take its place alongside Medicare and Medicaid. The action starts right away.

A week from Friday, states must notify Washington if they’ll be setting up new health insurance markets, called exchanges, in which millions of households and small businesses will shop for private coverage. The Health and Human Services Department will run the exchanges in states that aren’t ready or willing.

Open enrollment for exchange plans is scheduled to start Oct. 1, 2013, and coverage will be effective Jan. 1, 2014.

In all, more than 30 million uninsured people are expected to gain coverage under the law. About half will get private insurance through the exchanges, with most receiving government help to pay premiums.

The rest, mainly low-income adults without children at home, will be covered through an expansion of Medicaid. While the federal government will pay virtually all the additional Medicaid costs, the Supreme Court gave states the leeway to opt out of the expansion. That adds to the uncertainty over how the law will be carried out.

A steadying force within the administration is likely to be HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. The former Kansas governor has said she wants to stay until the law is fully enacted.

Governors will be the main counterparts to Sebelius, and Republicans are leading more than half the states.

Some, like Rick Perry of Texas and Rick Scott of Florida, have drawn a line against helping carry out Obama’s law. In other states, voters have endorsed a hard stance. Missouri voters passed a ballot measure Tuesday that would prohibit establishment of a health insurance exchange unless the Legislature approves. State-level challenges to the federal law will continue to percolate.

Other GOP governors have been on the fence, awaiting the outcome of the election. All eyes will be on pragmatists like Chris Christie of New Jersey and Bob McDonnell of Virginia, whose states have done considerable planning to set up exchanges.

“Republican governors are at the center of the health care universe right now,” said Michael Ramlet, health policy director at the American Action Forum, a conservative think tank. “They do not have a uniform position.”

Virginia’s McDonnell, in a rebuff to the administration, said in an interview published Thursday his state would not set up its own exchange, defaulting to a federally run one. McDonnell left open the possibility Virginia might later change course.

Some governors whose states aren’t ready to run exchanges are considering the administration’s fallback offer to run the new markets through a partnership.

“The real question for Republican governors is: `Are you going to let the feds come into your state?’” Ramlet said. “The question for the Obama administration is whether they are going to have more flexibility.”

Major regulations are due shortly covering such issues as exchange operations, benefits and protections for people with pre-existing health problems. That could signal the administration’s willingness to compromise.

A check by The Associated Press found 17 states and the District of Columbia on track to setting up their own exchanges, while 10 have decided not to do so. The federal government could end up running the show in half or more of the states.

The states on track include California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nevada, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and West Virginia.

Not setting up exchanges are Alaska, Florida, Louisiana, Maine, New Hampshire, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin. Missouri and others are likely to join the list.

A recent AP poll found that 63 percent of Americans want states to run the exchanges, with 32 percent favoring federal control.

GOP governors are also seeking flexibility on expanding Medicaid. They are pressing Sebelius on whether the administration will approve partial, less costly expansions, more attractive to cash-pressed states.

As far as Medicaid, 11 states and the District of Columbia have indicated they will expand their programs, while six have said they will not. That leaves more than 30 undecided.

The states definitely expanding Medicaid include California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Vermont, and Washington. Those declining include Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Texas.

On Capitol Hill, Republicans say if a budget deal is going to include tax increases, it must also come with cuts to the health care law, or money-saving delays in its implementation.

While major changes can’t be ruled out, they don’t seem very likely to former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., who is close to the administration.

“I think Democrats are increasingly emboldened about the health care act,” Daschle said. “The president won re-election partly by defending it. There is a new dynamic around the health care effort.”

Republican attempts to amend the law will continue, he said, but outright repeal is no longer a possibility.

Speaker Boehner seemed to second that in an interview with ABC News. Asked if he will make another attempt to fully repeal Obama’s law, he responded, “Well, I think the election changes that.”

But he added that parts of the health care law are very expensive and difficult to carry out and “everything has to be on the table” in budget negotiations. Later, spokesman Kevin Smith said that Boehner is “still committed to full repeal.”

      We nominated Romney for president, the man who created Obamacare. Of course politicians are starting to line up behind the new entitlement program. If we could not argue our side effectively In a national election then we only have the era of entitlement politics and the collapse of America to look forward to.

      We need to change the hearts and minds of this country and bring them into the constitutionalist fold before its to late. The scheme can’t last forever. I fear unprepared Americans will learn the hard way that their freedom was truly precious.

      Barber2, I look forward to the collapse as we have something in place that will be the vehicle for regaining the Republic in the manner it is supposed to be. You see there are two governments in our country today, the De Jure lawful government (presently vacated) and a De Facto illegal government acting under the rules of incorporation. This is reiterated by a Supreme Court Judge; The Honorable Justice John Harlan in 1901 who said in Downes vs, Bidwell 182 US 244,381: “…We have in this country substantially two national governments, one to be maintained under the Constitution with all its restrictions, the other to be maintained by Congress outside and independently of that instrument…”
      Watch here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYleC7l86ys&feature=plcp
      There is a movement, or perhaps it is more than a movement, that is dedicated to restoring the Republic after the collapse of the corporate government. We have interim representatives to the true De Jure Congress from all 50 states and an interim President and Vice President in place when the collapse happens. The Constitution has been restored to its original meaning with the Bill of Rights intact with this new Republic. All we need now is to spread the word and sign up as many Patriots that we can. Are you in?

      I personally like the stance of Walter Williams on gov’t force. He draws a parallel between a free market and seduction, and a parallel between gov’t force and rape. Personally, I am now calling myself a militant Libertarian. What that means, is that any action taken to deter me from exercising my inalienable rights and those guaranteed by our Constitution will be seen as warranting physical force in return to execute my right of self defense. Until recently, I felt as though the judicial system was a better way to exercise that right, but sadly, it is so severely lacking as to the point that we should take violent action against that system designed to protect us as well.

      When a Marine Corps Sergeant (Jose Guerena) can be murdered in his own home by a “swat” team and no one is held accountable; and when a man (Jerome Ersland) can practice self defense by shooting a teenager pointing a revolver in his face, then wind up in prison with a life sentence and a conviction of murder 1 charges, I call shenanigans and say fk the gov’t .

      Why???
      Boehner is telling it how it is…

      You want someone else to sugar-coat it & give us false hope?

      I’d rather know the deal and prepare accordingly….

    Does anyone know what the penalty (fines or imprisonment) will be for not paying for Obamacare, if you can’t? Some people don’t qualify for Medicaid; they often of the ones working several minimum wage jobs trying to feed their families. They are not on welfare, and not eligible. Many of the working poor fall into this group.

      That is part of the wonders (and consequences) of a communist system as that Obama is building in the land; the individual means nothing nor do entire communities, most likely those who are jailed for not being able to pay the fines will wind up in an American gulag system and worked to death as modern slaves.

      It will start off small and get larger progressively. Supposedly like $750 and up once it gets into full swing. Just don’t pay the taxes. Anticipate their reaction and treat them to a view of how a freeman acts to protect his family.

      One article I read said it would be $995. That may have been for a family.

    That’s right you spineless jackass and it’ll bankrupt this country and kill millions of jobs.Taxmageddon which you will gladly bend over and accept will supposedly pay for this POS law. 16,000 new IRS pigs hired to make sure YOU buy government health insurance,ahhhhhhh can you smell it? Smells like tyranny and who can we thank for producing this POS law? The tides foundation,look it up.

    We had a second chance in the SCOTUS but Roberts sided with the progressives and now the Marxist mulatto has more time to stack the court with progressive/communist/socialist pigs if he does that we’re finished permanently.

      You pretty much nailed it SLAYER.
      Short of armed insurrection I cant see a way out right now.
      This Frankenstein monster health care law ensconcing 20%
      of the economy cant be repealed now and Barry
      is going to be on steroids the next 4 years.

      I swear I cant see any other way.

      “Believe me, there will be no change no matter who we elect. Even the most ardent Tea Party believers get elected and then find they don’t have the ability to change Washington. Either they can’t or they change their views because they don’t want to risk what they now have, meaning risk losing their next election and their cushy and powerful job in Washington. We will have to “force” change. Make no doubt about it otherwise it is not going to happen and what Ron Paul envisions will become reality one day.”

      Yes, yes . . . armed insurrection. Mayhaps “ensconced” insurrection? Mayhaps.

      Well, it’s already started. me and a bunch of the boys are heading down to Cabela’s to load up on supplies – a few hundred cases of FMJs, night vision goggles, hand crank walkie talkie, dehydrated water, deer urine – just the basics. We’re scheduled to assemble at the Pink Pony in Gulf Shores. I hope they have waffles! I like waffles. We’ll stage, reconnoiter, regroup, strategize, restage, then have lunch. After a short nap, that’s when the fun starts – We’ll gas up our rigs, sync up all chronometers, don the cammo and convoy back to Cabela’s to buy more ammo. By then Hannity will be on Fox, so we’ll take a final inventory before separating and heading back to our respective houses. The missus don’t like me being late for supper. That’ll show ‘em.

    Two people I know have had to give up their health care plans in order that their employees can retain theirs. The Supreme Court outed Obama as a LIAR when they ruled that Obama-Care is indeed a TAX, when he had gone on TV for weeks swearing that it wasn’t.

    The new America doesn’t care that the president is a liar, as long as it thinks he will give it treats.
