Pelosi responds to Boehner's criticism : "some people will do anything for the insurance companies"

<snip>

The speaker defended her tactic of passing the bill despite unanimous Republican opposition. Her forceful handling of the bill was derided by Republicans as "Nancy Pelosi's one-party rule," and House Minority Leader John Boehner said on the floor of the House, "Shame on you. Shame."

"Well, you know, some people will do anything for the insurance companies," Pelosi said of Boehner in an echo of the bitter fight over the health care bill.

"You strive for bipartisanship when you can. When you find your common ground, that's great. If you don't find your common ground, you have to stand your ground," she said. "And in addition to that, you want bipartisanship, but you cannot let the lack of bipartisanship stand in the way of making this change that is important to the American people."
