Former House Speaker John Boehner farts in general direction of "repeal and replace Obamacare."
In a report from The Guardian, Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY) confessed that he feels like the conservative members keep moving the goal posts on Republicans attempting to pass a bill.

But Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) disagreed, saying that his caucus has voted over and over again to repeal Obamacare and that is all they are interested in doing. According to him, the Republicans like Pence and President Donald Trump who say that they want to keep parts of Obamacare have “not only moved the goalposts, they’ve taken out the stadium, chopped ‘em up and burned them.”
Former House Speaker John Boehner laughed off the idea that the GOP would be capable of doing anything to get rid of Obamacare.
“Republicans never ever agree on health care,” he said in Nov. 2016. “Most of the framework of the Affordable Care Act … that’s going to be there.”
