Speaker of the House Mike Johnson acknowledged that if Republicans regain control of the White House and Congress, they plan a 'very aggressive' approach to change the Affordable Care Act during the first 100 days of their term. This aggressive intention might reflect their long-standing objective to repeal the ACA, a goal pursued in nearly 100 attempts. Although there exists a palpable unpopularity among Republicans toward the ACA, recent polling indicates a stark contrast with public favor, illustrating a potential disconnect.
In response to an audience inquiry about the potential for the ACA's repeal, Johnson affirmed, 'No Obamacare?' with a decisive 'No Obamacare.' His reply sparked considerable controversy, leading to backlash from both public and media. Subsequently, he attempted to mitigate the fallout by suggesting his words were misrepresented, showcasing the tension between party priorities and public opinion on the health care legislation.
