Boehner: Republicans won't repeal and replace Obamacare
Former House Speaker John Boehner predicted on Thursday that a full repeal and replace of Obamacare is "not what's going to happen" and that Republicans will instead just make some fixes to the health care law.

Luckily for lots of people, Republicans once again will not deliver on their promise.
They are going to realize that saying no to everything is easy, governing is hard and if they break it they own it.
Spoke too soon
Once peole have gotten used to a freedom or a perk, taking it away from them without something equal without a massive backlash is quite hard.
The ACA isnt perfect but it is a hell of a lot better then what we had before that where you would get dropped for preexisting conditions (which was pretty much anything that would cost insurance companies money) or you couldnt get insurance at all. Sure there are parts that can be fixed but scrapping the whole thing isnt going to be popular with anyone from the hospitals, insurance companies or the people who have insurance.
