Representative John Boehner (R-OH) — House Republican Leader — released this video and statement on August 3, 2009.

“I’m not a doctor, but I play one on TV”

“Like the old joke goes, President Obama isn’t a doctor, but he plays one on TV — giving Americans a discomforting glimpse of life under ObamaCare, with government leaders and bureaucrats dispensing medical opinions that are better left to doctors, medical professionals, and patients.  This is a lighthearted video, but it underscores a serious point that Congressional Democrats are going to hear throughout August as they travel outside of Washington: Americans want lower health care costs – not a trillion-dollar government takeover of health care that increases costs and lets Washington bureaucrats make decisions that should be made by doctors and patients.”

ACTOR: I’m not a doctor, but I play one on TV.  If your child had a cough, she’d get just what the doctor ordered.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: “You know what, I’d make a lot more money if I take this kid’s tonsils out.”

ACTOR: I’m not a doctor, but I play one on TV.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: “If there’s a blue pill and a red pill and the blue pill is half the price of the red pill and works just as well, why not pay half price?”

ACTOR: I’m not a doctor, but I play one on TV.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: “Maybe you’re better off not having the surgery, but taking the pain pill.”
