During an appearance on Fox News America Live with Megyn Kelly, House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) discussed President Obamas bipartisan health care summit and said Americans want Democrats to scrap their trillion-dollar government takeover of health care and start over to work together on common-sense solutions the American people support. Boehner also said that, I don’t see any reason to allow the president to have a six-hour infomercial about his bill and I have no problems going down there and pointing out what I think the flaws in his bill are, and outlining what we think are common sense steps to make our system work better. Following are highlights of Boehners interview and accompanying video: BOEHNER ON AMERICANS WANTING TO SCRAP THE DEMS BILL AND START OVER WITH COMMON-SENSE REFORMS: Well, Megyn, the American people understand that our health care bill, and the health care system in America needs to be fixed. And as a result, I think we have an obligation to see if we cant find common ground, but the Presidents double-down on his proposal by basically adding a huge tweak to the Senate bill and continuing to try to sell this to the American people. And so I think we have an obligation to give to them, the President, to them, our Democratic colleagues, make it clear we think they should scrap this bill, this big government takeover, start with a clean sheet of paper and try to do those common sense steps to make our current health care system work better
