>Boehner acknowledged that an outright repeal of
>the healthcare law - a key rallying point of
>many GOP campaigns this year - is unlikely with
>President Obama wielding veto power from the
>White House. Still, the funding for many of the
>reforms will require approval from the House as

>Democrats shouldn't hold their breath for the money.

>"Our job is to do everything we can to keep it
>from being implemented, to keep it from moving ahead," he said.

>Boehner also predicted that the fight over the
>healthcare law won't end with November's
>midterms. If Republicans are successful blocking
>parts of the law from taking effect in the
>near-term, he said, "this will become the number
>one issue in the presidential election of 2012,
>when the American people can decide more directly."

Klein.
