That was exactly what he tried to do with Obamacare. He wanted to convert it from an entitlement program to being block funded by the Feds...which of course meant that unlike entitlements, it would have to be renewed in every budget. But he lost when McCain voted against the bill that Ryan got through the House.

This right here illustrates everything that is wrong with the establishment GOP. They only talk about how to shuffle money around rather than addressing the real problem.

In Ryan’s mind, the only problem with ObamaCare was its impact on the Federal budget. That’s pathetic. The REAL problem with ObamaCare was that it imposed all kinds of requirements for health insurance plans — none of which is a legitimate function of the U.S. government — that made those plans ridiculously expensive.

Ryan and the rest of the GOP got exposed as frauds when the Republicans ended up controlling Congress and the White House after the 2016 elections … because they were suddenly in a position to do something (repeal ObamaCare) that they had promised to do for years but had no intention of doing at all.
