#1 If they don't, there is a pretty fair chance the demoncrats will take control of the house next cycle.

#2 When he was Speaker and saying they were going to repeal, it was a lie. Drain the swamp.

#3 Well, you can't say they have not had a sufficient amount of time to come up with an alternative.

Where is it ?

#4 You mean the same John Boehner who left Congress to become a lobbyist for the tobacco industry? Sounds lucrative. Hmmmm. How about if his former colleagues repeal tobacco subsidies and tax the hell out of it? I'm thinking that'd do more for the health of this country than anything else they could do.

#5 Beso, they've got several. The problem is there are too many of the inner party that are 'pubs embedded in the graft-ocrocy. That will fight any attempt to slow down the money river.

As far as I'm concerned the only change needed is to return to the system circa 2008. Then tweak a few things like inter-state insurance and maybe a Medicaid twist.

#7 ACA is going to die anyway, with more and more insurance companies pulling out of the market and the monthly costs rising significantly, there is a fair chance that the ACA will be gone by 2018.
