House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) released a new video Wednesday morning  maintaing his decision to hold a vote on eliminating the healthcare reform law's cost-cutting board.

House Republicans will mark the second anniversary of the law this week with a "full court press" to get rid of the law  Boehner says, including the  repeal of the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) .

"There's only one way to truly fix ObamaCare, and that's by fully repealing it," Boehner says in the video. 

"It's a full court press. There can be no let-up until it's fully repealed."

Republicans will also adopt next week a 2013 budget that repeals the law, and will be arguing against the law's individual mandate ahead of oral arguments in the Supreme Court starting Monday. (h/t thehill )
