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

Posted on 06/29/2015 7:54:07 AM PDT by Brad from Tennessee

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. . .

You can drop the charade, Paul. All GOP had ‘as motivated as ever’ promised to do had been fundraising money from us.

Another thing that we can drop the charade is that Obamacare has anything to do with providing healthcare, it is about government control. Ryan has nothing to say about the 21st Century Government Enslaving all Americans?

The GOP promised to remove ObamaCARE,
but was reminded by Romney and Rove that RomneyCARE
is FOREVER, so instead they passed ObamaTRADE.

I hope he’s right. Meanwhile, the SCOTUS has lost all its legitimacy by its twisted interpretation of the law.

Silly career politician!

Nothing is a failure in Washington. Base-line budgeting guarantees it, which the GOP does not object to.

“I am as motivated as ever before to repeal and replace this law, and that’s what we’re working on.”

How many years have the RINOs been saying this now. They only thing they've done regarding Obamacare is to continue to fund it.

“Affordable” care act when last month I read about a married self employed couple having to pay $2000 a month for it. Yeah it’s affordable if you make the kind of money the Democraps pushing this nightmare make. This thing is the biggest scam since man made Gorebull warming, it’s only agenda is to destroy jobs and make the populace more dependent on the government. It goes without saying the self employed will now claim they are unemployed, work on a cash only basis so they can qualify for medicaid.

0bamacare will obviously not be defunded by its supporters in the Legislative Branch like Congressman Ryan.

No Congressman Ryan, the only question is which party will have the most convincing pledge to make the trains (the ACA) run on time.

The Republican party will collapse under it own incompetence. Ryan is a total status quo bullshitter.

The reason for the GOP-e’s abdication and submission to Obama cannot be “We’re just going to let them screw it all up.”

F*** Paul Ryan. He is dead to me. I couldn’t care less about him. He has maxed out his potential. It is up to the citizens in his district to determine his fate now.

Nailed THAT!

Ryan has been gaming the insider’s path to power and privilege, before the shtf.

First the GOPe said we should leave it up to the courts. Now they're AGAIN saying it will collapse under it's own weight.

Obviously these phony bastards are going to use this as a dangling carrot for YOU "vote R at any cost" dimwits to keep them in office...year after year.

"It's going to collapse under it's own weight". So why did these frauds have a funding plan in place in case the decision went the other way.

ROT IN HELL deceitful lying bastards!

"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."

No, if it collapses they will have to do something about it. And he's right, it will collapse. It's going to destroy the health insurance market. Not doing something will not be an option.

Obamacare will not last two years of a GOP President—any GOP president.

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

We don’t want it ‘collapsing under it’s own weight’ We WANT the supreme court to do their damn job, to HONOR their oath, and to declare it ILLEGAL- and since they did NOT do this we want those who voted for it IMPEACHED! For dereliction of duty and violation of their oaths and for betrayal of the people!

So Paul take your jelly spine elsewhere- we’re sick of listening to gutless wonders like you
