“Families and workers are already struggling under the president’s health care law, which is driving up costs and making it harder for small businesses to hire – they shouldn’t be on the hook for billions of dollars in fraud too,” Speaker Boehner said. “The House has just passed Diane Black’s bill to protect taxpayers by stopping the Obama administration from handing out subsidies based on the ‘honor system.’ A similar proposal was approved with bipartisan support in the Democratic-controlled Senate. In our Republican address this week, Rep. Black will talk about the need for an immediate vote in the full Senate on this proposal to protect taxpayers from the president’s health care law.”
“When I talk to people and businesses in my district, overwhelmingly their top concern is with the impending implementation of the president’s health care law,” Rep. Black said. “The disastrous legislation is hurting American families and businesses, and it puts taxpayers at risk for vast amounts of fraud and abuse. Until we can fully repeal it, we must continue to pass commonsense measures like the No Subsidies Without Verification Act that help shield the American public from this train wreck.” President Obama has already signed into law seven bills repealing, defunding or dismantling parts of his unpopular, problem-plagued health care law. -
