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."

These pricks should have to live by the same standards as the people who elected them. When is Ryan going to propose canceling Congress’ insurance plan? Hmmm???
In the future no legislation that cannot be demonstrated to be REPEALABLE.
I prefer it collapses.
What is “GRABIEN” and why are they lying about what Paul Ryan said?
Any chance this punk could collapse and go away and maybe take OConnell, McIdiot, and a few others with him? Naw, getting rid of the Beast, Obammy, and now RINOs, naw, couldn’t get THAT lucky.
Exactly!! Why on Earth did you pass funding for such an abomination, Lyin Ryan?
Paybacks are nice, until they are he##.
Fire this weasel idiot!!
Let it collapse.
Move the subsidized folks to Medicaid.
Open the whole thing to the free market and back the Federal government out.
Get back in your dresser drawer Eddie Munster.
That is the desire and intention. The alternative is to vote themselves out of power by voting a reduction in the federal government, and that isn't in the cards. They get MORE power by losing (elections), than by winning.
“got link?” You can search for more.
Here is one
““This action demonstrates that President Trump is committed to fixing the damage caused by Obamacare as soon as possible,” said Senator John Barrasso, Republican of Wyoming.
The order does not direct the Department of Health and Human Services to ease any particular aspect of the 2010 law, but it could result in a substantial weakening of one of its central features: the so-called “individual mandate” that requires most Americans to have health insurance or pay a tax penalty.
While the Obama administration allowed “hardship exemptions” to the mandate, the Trump administration could conceivably interpret the requirement in a more lenient way, so that more people would not be penalized.”

Ryan acts as if his entire retirement plan is at stake on this bill. He sounds desperate. Maybe he should wear one of those lewd pink hats on his head and shout:
“If my bill doesn’t get passed, the ice caps will melt in two weeks — women, children, and polar bears hardest hit!”
GOOD. THE ‘SYSTEM’ NEEDS TO COLLAPSE.
That would be the system that delivers healthcare coverage to millions of Americans which is currently in a death spiral.
Not sure why this crisis is so hard to understand, maybe if it were Medicare they were talking about people would see the urgency...smh
RINO-Care is Crony-Baloney

Ready to ‘hear’ something completely insane?
The Establishment is actually claiming that competition across state lines would increase taxpayer spending.
When you hear something that wacko it’s either to ‘punish the USA’ or to ‘reward cronies’.
Just imagine cronies getting to buy up desperate insurance companies. Most current healthcare insurance companies would pull out their fingernails for a little cash. Buy them up and you get all of their vital research DIRT CHEAP ... and then?
You get to enjoy a statewide monopoly to boot.
Those who have plenty of money but no talent or business savvy can simply buy into record profits by calling key congress critters and greasing a few palms.
It’s just ‘Crony-Boloney’.

Whatever Ryan is for, I’m against.
Let it collapse. Blame the left. The republican party couldn’t think their way out of a paper bag.
How much more simple can it get than that? But no! They all want their pork.
That’s what I’ve wondered...is Congress going to live under this new “plan?”
“That is the desire and intention. The alternative is to vote themselves out of power by voting a reduction in the federal government, and that isn’t in the cards. They get MORE power by losing (elections), than by winning. “
Correct its all a shell game while the Establishment Big Government gets even bigger stealing even more from the citizens.
So whats the Fix? It HAS to come Down, America is Evil and in the Total Control of Evil forces(Spirits) and there is no fixing that, there is however departure from it and a Return to Small Republics based in Gods Laws. Until this Reality gets through to the masses and they humble themselves before God vice the American flag we will continue into deeper darkness.
God Bless
