House Speaker Mike Johnson took a dig at Obamacare at an event in Pennsylvania on Monday, telling a crowd there would be “massive” health care changes in America if Donald Trump wins the election.

“Health care reform’s going to be a big part of the agenda. When I say we’re going to have a very aggressive first 100 days agenda, we got a lot of things still on the table,” Johnson, R-La., said in Bethlehem as he campaigned for GOP House candidate Ryan Mackenzie, according to video obtained by NBC News.

“No Obamacare?” an attendee asked Johnson, referring to the law Democrats passed in 2010, also known as the Affordable Care Act.

“No Obamacare,” Johnson responded, rolling his eyes. “The ACA is so deeply ingrained, we need massive reform to make this work, and we got a lot of ideas on how to do that.”

GOP: "14 years and counting with 'concepts of a plan'".

[Hermit-The-Prog]

1. The radicalized Republican party wants a small government with the power to examine the genitals of your grandchildren.

[ZonkerHarris]

2. concepts of reform

[SomewhereInTheMiddle]

3. They had four years!

More if you count the time they have held the House and or Senate even if they did not have the White House.

Changin a law has to start in Congress. They could do that at any time if they really had a plan. And if it is good enough to pass Congress with lots of people supporting it, even President Biden might choose to sign it.

But they have not done that.

And I don't believe they will in the near future either. Regardless of who wins the White House.

[Walleye]

4. When a Republican says the word reform, beware. He means cut your benefits, so that's simple.

[wolfie001]

7. This is the only correct answer

It's all about the rich having their taxes cut and producing exactly zero new jobs starting in 1981 when senile rayguns was president.

[Brainfodder]

5. Don't believe a word, influenced to go against universal healthcare, unlike every other 1st world country.

Greed is in the way, same shit different day scenario in endless loop?

[Biglinda 52]

6. Hey, Smartboy...

Let's hear some of those ideas or are they still a concept of a plan???

[oasis]

9. Both ex-House speaker Johnson and Trump

will be working out their concepts on the sidelines while the Harris administration moves America forward.

[HereForTheParty]

10. "Reform" means "cuts"

in MAGA-speak.

[chouchou]

11. I'm not so sure the the Republican "Go broke and dying in a ditch" is not the way to "reform"

[travelingthrulife]

12. Lying for Jesus

Atta boy, Mike! I am sure God appreciates your lying so he can do his job better.

[Captain Zero]

21. He is lying for Jesus, and we will die for Mike.

Hey Mike what day is it?

[Dorn]

13. Pharisee Johnson cosplays Christianity

5 Examples of Why House Speaker Mike Johnson isn’t a Christian

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

14. So much for "Heal the sick", ya Christian hypocrisy factory

[Diraven]

15. If they win

They'll vote to repeal it first and just never get around to replacing it. Like they tried to do last time.

[TBF]

16. This is where we lose benefits - in Project 2025

they were careful to say they were going to "re-classify" veterans who have benefits. That's a euphemism for cut.

[Mz Pip]

17. Where have we heard that before?

Try harder Mikey.

[Farmer-Rick]

18. Dems need to make a motion to vacate the chair

Johnson has a secret plan with Trump to overthrow the election and thwart the will of the people. I think a motion to vacate would at least bring out the plan for public scrutiny. Any house member can make a motion to vacate.

[onetexan]

20. THIS

[onetexan]

19. Right. So now it's massive reform instead of concept of a plan.

[Permanut]

22. Thinking about planning sessions..

to brainstorm and study ideas for the framework to roll out hints of the concept of a plan.

[sakabatou]

23. Even though repukes haven't come up with a replacement in over a decade

[IbogaProject]

24. "In Two Weeks" was what TFG said multiple times

They only ever tried to repeal the ACA and never once offered a coherent alternative.

[ificandream]

25. I really wish we'd kept McConnell from being voted out.

Johnson is a wacky idiot.

[BumRushDaShow]

26. You mean McCarthy

Turtle (McConnell) should have been gone decades ago (in the Senate)!

(ETA - Johnson is smarmy and slimey like Ryan was)

[ificandream]

29. You are correct. My apologies. :)

[BOSSHOG]

27. Yeah Mike thats what Jesus would do

[ramapo]

28. These fuckers never give up

So disgusting
