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. . .

True Obamacare is lurching to total collapse, but it will drag the U.S. healthcare system with it. The GOP RINOs will work with Democrats to replace it with a single payer socialized medical system that will make the VA look efficient.

What do the Republicans ever do about anything? They had plenty of time to prepare for the withdrawal of subsidies as a contingency. That would have been the responsible thing to do, but they did absolutely nothing.

They promised to stop Obama but they do nothing. They promise to reign in big government and reckless spending but they do nothing. They hold hearings but nothing ever comes of them. They let Lois Lerner make fools of them. The Pubbies are pathetic.

they will just throw more money at it.

And where pray tell is all that money coming from?

The previous eight year binge has managed to squander over $17,600,000,000,000.00 which we borrowed from the Chinese and pissed away on dubious (social justice?) projects. When the Chinese decide they want cash back for the bogus bonds we sold them, they are going to end up owning us lock, stock, and barrel. How's your Mandarin? Mine? not so good...

There's a bad moon rising,
things are about to get ugly,
