Boehner concedes ACA repeal ‘isn’t the answer’
MSNBC ^ | 04/25/14 08:43 AM | Steve Benen

Three weeks ago, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) responded with a simple message to the news that Affordable Care Act enrollment had exceeded expectations: “House Republicans will continue to work to repeal this law.”

Three weeks later, it appears even Boehner doesn’t believe Boehner’s bluster. […]

… Boehner specifically told his audience, “(To) repeal Obamacare … isn’t the answer. The answer is repeal and replace. The challenge is that Obamacare is the law of the land. It is there and it has driven all types of changes in our health care delivery system. You can’t recreate an insurance market overnight.” …

Boehner is a moron. It was never just repeal. Of course, you need to replace it with something that works. This man must be a Democrat plant. What a moron!!!!!!

If repealing Obamacare isn’t the answer, maybe Boehner is asking the wrong question.

Some day soon, he’ll probably drown in his own vomit after one of his boozing binges with his Chamber of Commerce amnesty butt buddies.

hasn't the mantra always been "repeal and replace"?

Not when they were running for election last time round.

The GOPe would be working to “fix” Prohibition, rather than repeal it...if it were around today.

Juana Boehner can’t seem to make up her mind. Some time ago she said it was “the law of the land.”

This sissy crybaby needs to go.

Since 2010 was useless why do we need to keep them in power in 2014? What will taking the Senate do?

What a bunch of cowards.

Yes. Reforms always had to happen.

I don't get the lying headline. Boehner clearly says here that repeal of ACA is still the goal.

The Framers left us the Second Amendment for a reason. Time to start running some of these bastards up a rope.

Boehner is a complete, pathetic and clueless loser.

The fact that he is still in a leadership position speaks volumes about the equally pathetic Stupid Party.
