“Today, after more than 50 votes in Congress to repeal or weaken this law, after a presidential election based in part on preserving or repealing this law, after multiple challenges to this law before the Supreme Court, the Affordable Care Act is here to say,” President Obama said on Thursday after the Supreme Court upheld the state subsidies provision in the Affordable Care Act. In other words, time for Republicans to give up the fight against the health law.
But appearing on CBS’s “Face the Nation” Sunday, Rep. Paul Ryan seemed unfazed.
Ryan said the current law is not fixable, and, citing the rationing of Medicare, denial of choice, double-digit annual increases in premiums, and the consolidation of insurance companies, he argued that the country won’t stand for it.
“This law’s going to collapse under its own weight,” he said. “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.
“There are a number of alternative ObamaCare bills out there right now, in Congress. So I just disagree with that notion,” said Paul, who was the GOP vice presidential nominee in 2012.
“In 2016, we need to show the country what exactly we would replace this law with, so that when we win the election in 2016, we will have the ability to do it in 2017,” he continued, encouraging GOP presidential candidates to talk at length about what they want to do to replace ObamaCare with a system that works better.
As of early June, support for the law stood at a mere 39 percent, which ties an all-time low, last hit in April of 2012.
Can you imagine hoe hopeless it would have been if Romney Ryan had been elected? Just about how we have it now.
Like social security, right Paul?
Ryan is simply garbage parading as something meaningful in the broader scope of the existence we Freepers know as “life”; Life!
He is nothing more that folk with “Obama/Biden” (08) bumper stickers still on their bumpers - Ryan has sold his “meaningless” life to the lowest bidder..
Can you show me the source of it? the one I found was from 2013 and surely you did not mean that one
Ryan and the GOPee are on the verge of collapse.
No it won't. They will tax us into penury but they will never give up socialized medicine. Look at Britain. Look at Canada.
>>Ryan said the current law is not fixable, and, citing the rationing of Medicare, denial of choice, double-digit annual increases in premiums, and the consolidation of insurance companies, he argued that the country won’t stand for it.
It isn’t designed for people to stand for it. It is designed to make them demand single-payer as it fails.
Vintage John McCain playbook.
Pretend to be a conservative on occasion in order to let the RINO/amnesty for illegal aliens trail cool off.
(It does not cool off, btw.)
.
The government will collapse under its own weight.
Words of a coward.
One can only hope
Obamacare: Being forced to pay higher premiums for the privilege of paying even higher deductibles. A gift to the insurance industry.
“This law’s going to collapse the United States under its own weight”
Yep, it’s a ratcheting beast that will devour more and more.
Every day the media will find something more it should pay government money for to free people to spend more on media’s advertised products.
Politicians will fall over themselves rushing to spend more of our wealth to do that.
Oh how the wrath of the media will fall upon any politician who tries to be responsible with this spending- as it falls upon those who try to be responsible with any government spending.
REPEAL! And do not replace. If you do replace, call it what it is; CHARITY! Make it a very focused handout to deserving individuals who agree to obey the rules.
Ryan is an IDIOT!!! an IDIOT!!!! he was TERRIBLE VP candidate....TERRIBLE....HORRIBLE....he’s a CHILD who is NOT a deep thinker!
“Look at Britain. Look at Canada.”
More importantly, look at Greece. Then raise it exponentially, and apply that shortfall to the rest of the world.
We shall never be able to raise the revenue to cover this abject failure of a law, and the rest of the world could not bail us out anyway.
Penury doesn’t begin to describe the state our finances will be in. Socialism will have finally run out of other people’s money.
“We didn’t land on Obamacare, Obamacare landed on US!”
Shut up, Paul. Just shut up.
