Boehner predicts Republicans will 'never' repeal and replace Obamacare
Washington Post ^ | July 25, 2017 | Robert Costa

Posted on 07/25/2017 5:36:10 AM PDT by Zakeet

Former House speaker John A. Boehner, who has mostly avoided public commentary since leaving Congress two years ago, told a business gathering last week that Republicans are "not going to repeal and replace Obamacare" because "the American people have gotten accustomed to it."

"Here we are, seven months into this year, and yet they've not passed this bill. Now, they’re never — they're not going to repeal and replace Obamacare," Boehner told a private crowd in Las Vegas, according to video footage obtained by The Washington Post. "It's been around too long. And the American people have gotten accustomed to it. Governors have gotten accustomed to this Medicaid expansion, and so trying to pull it back is really not going to work."

Boehner said the Republicans' best hope in the coming months is to peel away aspects of the law, such as some tax provisions and regulations, and to end health insurance mandates.

Say what you wish about him, but he does not have to be a soothsayer to know what he says is correct. The GOP was NEVER of a mind to get rid of O Care. Do not make the connection the GOP considers Trump their leader, they used the issue to get into office, he was a convenience. Now that they are on the pot, they have constipation.

I detest those dirty two faced maggots. The system is set up so you have no choice as voting these days between parties is a distinction without a difference.

This guy, like McConnell, Ryan, McCain, et al., was long part of the problem in the District of Corruption. Owned by business interests and not an ounce of principle in his makeup.

Yet their constituents reelect them time after time.

It’s hard to be optimistic with so many of these guys not only in office, but in leadership positions.

No body can get accustomed to paying heinous fees for insurance and deductibles that leave families financially unable to seek medical care

Shows how insulated these jackasses are from real life

Guaranteed Boehner is an unofficial lobbyist (paid handsomely at our expense) and that was a veiled threat.

“they used the issue to get into office”

**********

Correct. Fooled their base — AGAIN. The party only stands for one thing: its own reelection. Nothing else.

How many more election cycles will it take until the reality sinks in that the GOP will NEVER represent us. We really do need a third party.

"Republicans will 'never' repeal and replace Obamacare"

That's because Republicans were never really against Obamacare - they just complained about it to get donations from their (former) political base.

Boehner and those like him are happy to do whatever their K-Street masters tell them.
