John Boehner: “We do not claim that the underlying bill is going to cover all of the uninsured and eliminate that problem, but we do…”

“We do not claim that the underlying bill is going to cover all of the uninsured and eliminate that problem, but we do think it is a giant step forward in helping the uninsured get access to high-quality health insurance at affordable prices. Even the flawed study that my colleague has pointed to on a number of occasions, the CBO study which was flawed in a number of areas, says that 330,000 of the uninsured will in fact get health insurance. I think the number is far, far higher than that. I think we are talking about millions of Americans will have a chance at good health insurance. But let us say it is only 330,000, 330,000 families that would get coverage under this bill. I think that is a good step in the right direction.”
