CONCORD, N.H.—House Minority Leader John Boehner is telling New Hampshire Republicans that American outrage will help defeat a national health care reform bill before Congress.
The Ohio Republican appeared at a fundraising reception for the state Republican State Committee Friday night in Concord, N.H.
Boehner told The Union Leader that if the American people continue to stay engaged in the fight, reform can be stopped. He said he thinks Americans are outraged and when the American people speak up, Washington listens.
A few dozen supporters of health care reform demonstrated outside the GOP event.
The bill passed the House last week. The Senate has yet to act.
