You can’t govern by being a purist.
Ruan did not look at any truly innovative programs like the Atlas practice in Kansas City. Ryan also wanted to PAY FOR ILLEGALS’ health insurance...
Ryan cut and paste this bill from his “Better Way Program” (which he rolled out as a counter agenda to Trump’s plans during the campaign).
Ryan rushed this bill through initially stating it was a “binary choice” allowing no input.
The FC were not being purist to oppose it. It was a lousy bill.
I highly doubt Mark Levin, a radio commentator with a dwindling audience, made a difference in their vote. However, speaking of radio commentators, Sean Hannity thought the bill was a turd and felt that all groups should have had input before a public rollout. I agree and think it is disingenuous to blame them for bill’s failure.
While Ryan was crafting Obamacare 2, what the fvck were the FC doing, exactly? Are they not in the same party? Or has Ryan gone rogue? /s
