When it comes to the Affordable Care Act, former House Speaker John Boehner eschews altogether the alliterative “repeal and replace” phrasing favored by his fellow Republicans.

The repeal-and-replace branding is mere “happy talk,” he said Thursday at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society conference in Orlando, Fla. “[Congressional Republicans are] going to fix Obamacare — I shouldn’t call it repeal and replace, because it’s not going to happen,” he said, according to Politico.
