Boehner: Obamacare Ruling Doesn't Change 'Fundamentally Broken' Law

Thursday's Supreme Court ruling on Obamacare doesn't mean that the law doesn't remain "fundamentally broken," House Speaker John Boehner, vowing to continue repeal efforts on the legislative level.

"Obamacare is fundamentally broken, increasing healthcare costs for millions of Americans," the Ohio Republican said in a statement.

"Today’s ruling doesn’t change that fact. Republicans will continue to listen to American families and work to protect them from the consequences of Obamacare."

Further, the speaker said, "We will continue our efforts to repeal the law and replace it with patient-centered solutions that meet the needs of seniors, small business owners, and middle-class families."

Tennessee Rep. Diane Black, a member of the Ways and Means Health Subcommittee who has worked as a nurse for 40 years, said Thursday that the Supreme Court's decision to allow Obamacare subsidies for recipients from all states doesn't change the fact that the president's healthcare reform plan is "fundamentally broken."

"Today’s irresponsible Supreme Court decision does not change the fact that Obamacare is a fundamentally broken law that has failed to deliver on its most basic promises," Black said in a statement received by Newsmax just after the ruling came down.

"I am deeply disappointed that the court shirked its duty as a co-equal branch of government by not acting to hold this President accountable for following his own laws, but my resolve to erase Obamacare remains stronger than ever."

She called for "strong leadership from Congress," if Republicans hope to stop "this disastrous law."

"We as conservatives must redouble our efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare," she said. "That is what Americans voted for at the ballot box last November and that is what they expect from us today."
