ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) As the White House prepares to launch a new campaign to get Americans to sign up for the Affordable Care Act, House Republican leaders continue to criticize Obama's healthcare law. On the day the President is set to talk about the benefits of the Affordable Care Act and the revamped website, Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor said the healthcare law doesn't benefit Americans. "When you look at Obamacare what you see is a government centered healthcare delivery system. That's not what the American people want. The American people want to be able to pick their own type of health insurance. They want to be able to pick their own doctor. They want to be able to pick their own hospital. That's what a patient centered healthcare system looks like," said Boehner.
