Unsatisfied with throwing cold water on true conservative principles during his stint as Speaker of the House, former House speaker John A. Boehner told a business gathering on July 21 that Republicans are “not going to repeal and replace Obamacare” because “the American people have gotten accustomed to it.”
The Washington Post, which obtained a video of Boehner’s remarks, said he argued, “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. 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.”
