Report: Paul Ryan Got Down On One Knee To Beg For Health Care Votes

House Speaker Paul Ryan got down on one knee and begged for congressmen to vote to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, a report claims.

According to a detailed account in the Washington Post, the Wisconsin native “got down on a knee to plead with Rep. Don Young” on Thursday night, just hours before the House was supposed to vote on the bill, because he remained undecided.

“When the speaker finished with Young, he spent about 10 minutes in an animated discussion with Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), one of the bill’s most outspoken critics,” the Post noted. “At one point, the speaker took his own arms and held them up, his hands at face level, then slowly lowered them to his waist — presumably trying to demonstrate his belief that the bill will lower costs.”

If this is even partially true, I’d say it confirms my suspicion that Paul Ryan is an inept loser in his leadership role. LOL.

Wow... he must have been due a much bigger kickback from insurance agencies than I thought for him to act like this much of a cuck....

Paul Ryan needs to stand on two feet and exit Congress.

I think a chip was implanted in Ryan’s brain.

Yeah, right! Sorry can’t buy the BS. It sure doesn’t fit with the lying back stabbing snakes overall plan. Sabotage Trump at every turn.

"When the speaker finished with Young, he spent about 10 minutes in an animated discussion with Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), one of the bill’s most outspoken critics," the Post noted. "At one point, the speaker took his own arms and held them up, his hands at face level, then slowly lowered them to his waist — presumably trying to demonstrate his belief that the bill will lower costs."

This would confirm something I suspected for some time.

The Freedom Caucus opposition to the AHCA bill probably had nothing to do with ideology and had everything to do with political reality. There was nothing in the AHCA that would have reduced health insurance costs soon enough to ward off a political disaster for the GOP in 2018.

If the GOP had passed this "health care reform" bill in the spring of 2017, and then 2018 insurance renewals went out to individuals and employers in the fall of 2017 with the same massive increases in premiums we've seen in recent years, then the GOP would have faced catastrophic losses in the 2018 midterms ... which exposes the whole "Phase 3" of the GOP strategy as delusional at best and disingenuous at worst.

Ryan failed miserably at his job.

He’s useless.

If that really happened Ryan should be ousted based on “behavior unbecoming of a Speaker of the House” alone.

He got down on his knees for Soros, not the US taxpayer.

The dems and their media arm had already scared the public into thinking that they would lose their health insurance (not healthcare!).

Next time don’t let that happen.
