Paul Ryan: ObamaCare will ‘collapse under its own weight’
The Hill ^ | June 28, 2015 | By Timothy Cama

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Sunday predicted that, now that the Supreme Court upheld Affordable Care Act subsidies, the law will fail by itself.

Speaking on CBS’s “Face the Nation” Sunday, Ryan said the Supreme Court was wrong to uphold federal healthcare subsidies under ObamaCare.

But Ryan said the law’s consequences, like squeezing Medicare, denying consumers choice and double-digit annual increases in premiums, will make it easier for Congress to repeal it.

“This law’s going to collapse under its own weight,” said Ryan, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. “I am as motivated as ever before to repeal and replace this law, and that’s what we’re working on.”

Ryan told host John Dickerson that, despite media reports to the contrary, the GOP has plenty of ideas for legitimate replacements to the law, something that he plans to move forward on in 2017 if a Republican is elected president. . .

Great statement that represents the position of the passive GOPe when it comes to going after anything that Obama likes.

Exactly. Just as US Government spending will collapse of its own weight...any day now. [/s]

It will happen eventually, but until it does, politicians will keep the pedal to the metal.

This is the first accurate thing that Ryan has said in a long time.

However, I am sure the GOPe are even now looking for ways to keep it going.

Wonderful, wonderful. To replaced by what? Oh. Right. Socialized Medicine.

Jerk.

Is that your strategy with TPP and TPA and TPC and the rest of your and Jeremiah Wright's desires for God to damn America?

Just another case of Republicans hoping it will go away so they don’t have to do anything about it. They are all talk and no action.

RE: Paul Ryan: ObamaCare will ‘collapse under its own weight’

They will simply increase taxes, or go into MORE debt to pay for it.

So, the conclusion is Obamacare will TAKE THE AMERICAN ECONOMY DOWN WITH IT.

With Paul Ryan, one has to watch what he does & not what he says.

He snuggles up with Obama lovers McConnell & Boehner.
