Boehner: Republicans won't repeal and replace Obamacare
Instead, he said changes to former President Barack Obama’s signature legislative achievement would likely be relatively modest.
“[Congressional Republicans are] going to fix Obamacare – I shouldn’t call it repeal-and-replace, because it’s not going to happen,” he said.
“I started laughing,” he said. “Republicans never ever agree on health care.”
“Most of the framework of the Affordable Care Act … that’s going to be there,” Boehner concluded.
.
You can't leave millions without coverage overnight by repealing it, and it's clear they haven't written anything to replace it with, and they only have until June 21st to write and approve a new plan, because that's when insurers write their policies for next year.
And Republican town halls are getting hammered all over this country DEMANDING to know what they're going to replace it with, and there's NO ANSWER coming from GOP congressmen.
Furthermore, Democrats have to promised filibuster any major changes.
So yes Boehner is right, most of the framework will remain intact. And Republicans will have to work with Democrats to make changes.
