Obamacare repeal and replace won’t happen: Boehner

“But I can tell you there is a very strong consensus in the House that Obamacare is collapsing on the American people”, he said, adding that deliberations on fixing health care issues are “moving very rapidly”. The latest Politico/Morning Consult poll finds 45 percent of registered voters say they approve of Obamacare, four percent more than since early January.

He concluded, “Most of the Affordable Care Act, in the framework, is going to stay there: coverage for kids up to age 26, covering those with preexisting conditions”. It also asked questions on repealing and replacing the health care law.

Moreover, Boehner says he “should’ve never called it ‘repeal and replace'”.

Republican lawmakers are now being beset at town halls with constituents anxious about losing their health insurance.

USA TODAY reports that 48 percent of those who were surveyed now have favorable views of the act – though people are still split on whether to repeal the law or not. The administration is expected to unveil its concept of an ACA replacement at some point in the next month. Taylor supports repealing the ACA, but said he hopes both opponents and supporters of the law can work together on a plan to benefit all Americans. “Without knowing any specifics about what they intend to do with families’ health care and a cost associated with it, it’s comparing a basket of fruit to an empty basket”. Lance told the crowd he doesn’t favor simply repealing Obamacare and instead wants to fix it, a stance that earned him applause from those in attendance.

Those Republicans who disapprove were largely divided on whether GOP congressional leaders should modify the law or replace it entirely, with 42 per cent in favour of reform and 44 per cent favouring repeal.

Moreover, the legislation would help private insurance companies profit even more than they already do, as it gives in to insurers’ desires to force elderly people to pay more for healthcare.

Republicans have long opposed Obamacare on grounds it was government overreach and that it simply led to higher insurance premiums for many Americans.

The march, ironically, will take place while the Democratic National Committee is meeting at the downtown Westin, organizers said in a release announcing the march.

“We had a little taste of fairness with the ACA”, Smart said.
