Csting his ObamaCare replacement bill as the only chance to save America from a complete health-care collapse, Speaker Paul Ryan Sunday countered his conservative critics who say the bill fails to make good on Republicans' promise to repeal ObamaCare.
"Understand the speaker’s plan doesn’t repeal ObamaCare," a member of the House Republicans' Freedom Caucus, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), said Sunday. "Even Charles Krauthammer said that, called it ObamaCare Lite, as you said earlier. It doesn’t bring down premiums and it doesn’t unite Republicans. So, why not do what we all voted for just 15 months ago, clean repeal, and then get focused and build some momentum to actually replace ObamaCare with something that’s going to bring down costs?"
Ryan said his bill, called the American Health Care Act, is in fact the only way to successfully repeal ObamaCare.
"Look, when you are a governing party getting consensus among your wide, big-tent party, not — everybody doesn’t get what they want, but we are getting much better policy here," the Speaker of the House said of his conservative critics. "Let me put it this way: Obamacare is collapsing. If we just did nothing, washed our hands of the situation, we would see a further collapse of the health insurance markets. So we feel an obligation to step in front of that collapse and replace this law with one that works, that has more freedom."

Yes Rat Boy we know Obamacare is going to collapse, but Romney Care 2.0 with bigger fines is not the solution.
REPEAL OBAMACARE do not replace.
What fines?
Just defund it.
Let it collapse.
Open the marketplace. It’s not hard.
RYAN WARNS: IF WE DON’T PASS MY BILL, ‘THE SYSTEM IS GOING TO COLLAPSE’
It's not "the system", it's OBAMA's legacy that will collapse of it's own weight. Consequences, get used to it Ryan...coming your way.
REPEAL ACA/OBAMACare, PERIOD.
MAGA
“RYAN WARNS: IF WE DON’T PASS MY BILL, ‘THE SYSTEM IS GOING TO COLLAPSE’”
So he put it right out there, i.e., that he’s worried the SYSTEM will collapse. Hello... that’s why we voted for Trump; we WANT the system to collapse!!
He’s more worried about the SYSTEM than the people, the people’s money, the people’s healthcare, etc. God forbid the SYSTEM and its corrupt politicians, media, and lobbyists should collapse.
*yawn*
It perhaps it goes back to a market based system.
REPEAL!
Exactly correct. It's just a little itty bitty 'tax'.
Hey Ryan, not my problem. Cry me a river, and get the insurance cartel to buy you a drink.
“The sky is falling!” fake news from Ryan.
Hmmm, maybe should just repeal it and maybe attempt replace later?
How many times did the rinos pass a repeal bill only to get it shut down in the senate?
Many, but they knew it wasn’t for real. It was for show. They knew it wouldn’t pass and only did it to shut up the masses.
Truth is, they don’t see a problem w/commie care and now that it gives the gov more power, they like it even better.
So now the excuse will be, we couldn’t agree on a replace.
Repubs are going to lose house and senate over this. Then it’ll be back to the we’re in the minority excuse again.

ObamaCare is imploding. It is a disaster and 2017 will be the worst year yet, by far! Republicans will come together and save the day.
Ohhhhh.... Now I get it. It's the ONLY WAY!
Yeah.
Right.
In other words, Ryan and the vast majority of the House voted for the system to collapse multiple times.
Until it had a chance to be signed.
Bigger fines than Obamacare for people that do not get it.
The Feds want to FORCE PEOPLE, against the people’s will, to buy Romneycare 2.0 (what Rat Boy Ryan is pushing in congress) from a PRIVATE company. If you choose not to buy it, then they want to fine you via the IRS.
President Trump already signed an Executive Order telling the IRS NOT to enforce the fines from Obamacare, but no one is really telling the public.
So now Rat Boy Ryan is trying to reintroduce even bigger fines in his Romenycare 2.0 that he is trying to sell the public.
It’s time to RECALL RYAN. That WORTHLESS P.O.S.
REPEAL Period!
Fines, er, taxes, er fines, er taxes, er fines.......for NOT having obtained federally MANDATED health insurance from an APPROVED provider....................
Hey Ryan, I want your healthcare options !
Hmmm... Is this such a bad thing? Maybe, rather than replacing Obamacare with Obamacare Lite, just sit back, do something important (taxes? immigration?? infrastructure???) and let Obamacare collapse. Then you can do it right.
Well, maybe not. You seem to be Pug-ugly Lite lately!
got link?.............
