Now that John Boehner is no longer Speaker of the House, he’s free to tell the truth; the Republican noise about “repealing and replacing Obamacare” is just “happy talk” for the delusional right wing base.

Former House Speaker John Boehner predicted on Thursday that a full repeal and replace of Obamacare is “not going to happen.”

Boehner, who resigned in 2015 amid unrest among conservatives, said at an Orlando health care conference that the idea that a repeal-and-replace plan would blitz through Congress is just “happy talk.”
