Boehner: Only health care fix is to scrap law

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker John Boehner says the only way to fix the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) is to scrap it entirely.

Boehner says the law has forced health coverage to be canceled and the costs of premiums to rise. He says the Obama administration can’t be trusted on the issue.

The Ohio Republican spoke shortly before Obama planned to reveal his plan for letting insurance companies continue health coverage that they have been canceling for millions of Americans.

Obama is expected to propose administrative changes that would not require congressional approval.
