WASHINGTON, DC - House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today released a new web video on President Obama’s health care plan that uses footage from a classic ‘80s TV ad in a humorous way to make a serious point – despite what the President and congressional Democrats say, government doesn’t know best when it comes to the very personal health care decisions that families and doctors make every day.

        “Like the old joke goes, President Obama isn’t a doctor, but he plays one on TV -- giving Americans a discomforting glimpse of life under ObamaCare, with government leaders and bureaucrats dispensing medical opinions that are better left to doctors, medical professionals, and patients.  This is a lighthearted video, but it underscores a serious point that Congressional Democrats are going to hear throughout August as they travel outside of Washington: Americans want lower health care costs – not a trillion-dollar government takeover of health care that increases costs and lets Washington bureaucrats make decisions that should be made by doctors and patients.”
