Former House Speaker Predicts ‘Obamacare’ Won’t Be Repealed


1Former House Speaker John Boehner predicted on Thursday that a full repeal and replacement of “Obamacare” is “not going to happen.”

Boehner was forced out by conservatives in 2015. The Ohio Republican says he started laughing when he heard President Donald Trump and Republicans promise swift action on undoing and replacing the health law.

He says: “Republicans never ever agree on health care.”

Boehner spoke at a health care conference in Orlando. His remarks were reported by Politico.

He predicts that in the end, Republicans will leave the basic framework of the Affordable Care Act in place and make relatively modest changes.

As speaker, Boehner promised numerous times to repeal and replace Obamacare in full. He presided over a 2013 government shutdown aimed at taking money away from the law.

  1. Boehner heard it from me.

    If the Republicans were really going to replace it, they would have a draft of a plan by now. They want the issue, not the responsibility.

  2. Of course you can repeal Obamacare the guy put 8 years into destroying any possibility for this country to recuperate from his epidemic. He dug a deep pit for this country that is so deep that there seems no way out. I hope he’s having fun golfing and surfing and enjoying a luxurious life while “his” country is down the tubes. He should really behind bars with all the crooks that are bringing down this country. We need change!!! Is there any hope for change in this country? Prob not. We need moshiach!!!!

  3. He’s an excellent source. They’ve had years to come up with alternative plans, they don’t want it period. In the meantime it grows in popularity among the people.

  4. Re comment no. 3: From your spelling, I would say you are really the Trump currently known as president.

    Re comment no. 4: Since the late 19th Century, the Soeaker of the House has been called the “Fire Marshall.” It’s a civil service job, not elective, part of House security.
