(Credit: Reuters/Jonathan Ernst) Last month, former House Speaker John Boehner predicted that while Congressional Republicans will pass a “fix” to the Affordable Care Act, “I shouldn’t call it repeal-and-replace, because it’s not going to happen.” Now facing down explicit threats from President Donald Trump and a remarkably tight Thursday deadline to vote on a newly revised health care bill that has yet to be assessed for its cost and coverage impact by the Congressional Budget Office, conservatives opposing the House GOP’s plan have seized on another report from the nonpartisan entity to argue that a full repeal of the law known as Obamacare would actually leave more Americans insured than the bill backed by Trump. While a February poll found that 65 percent of Americans hope at least some parts of Obamacare survive the Republican repeal effort, conservatives insist that a full repeal of the law would leave 1 million more Americans insured than the American Health Care Act.
