Paul Ryan on Sunday said that the GOP House budget was tailored to assume that the Affordable Care Act would be repealed. "Are you saying, as part of your budget, you assume the repeal of Obamacare?," asked Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace. "Yes," said Ryan, adding that, "we're going to propose replacing Obamacare with patient-centered health care, with a better health care system for everybody."

Ryan defended his opposition to the law. "We don't want to push more people into a failing program," he said. "We believe that Obamacare is a program that will not work. We believe Obamacare will actually lead to hospitals and doctors and health care providers turning people away."

Host Chris Wallace seemed skeptical, however. "That's not going to happen," he said, of the repeal.

Paul Ryan: GOP Budget Assumes Obamacare Repeal

Paul Ryan thinks the law of land should be whater HE THINKS it should be. This guy is delusional. You people picked a real loser for VP - again.
 
Thank you for reaffirming your partisanship…carry on!

Isn't that what all politicians think?

I agree that believing Obamacare will be repealed is optimistic, but politicians of both parties do things like this all the time.

Like it or not he is correct, the ACA won't be repealed. It's a shame that it took something like the ACA for the GOP to act as though they care about health insurance reform.
 
Stupid Republicans have been wasting time and money trying to repeal Obamacare since 2010. They must really like loosing. Republicans get bent over for a reaming so often that they have become the equivalent of "Bottoms" in the political arena.
 
Obamacare won't work in the long term. The fact that the medical industry supported it largely should have given you a clue that this program will bankrupt the nation after first bankrupting the sates in 5 years when the subsidies disappear and the 50 states get whacked with a $5B unfunded medicaid mandate overnight.

Who is correct? Chris Wallace (as he was the one quoted)? Was that the purpose of this thread, to affirm a Fox 'talking head' was right? REALLY?...suprised!

Why does Paul Ryan suck off the government while wasting our time? This fool has never had a real job. He is a taker, not a maker.

He's an elected representative, he's allowed to think that. He gets to write legislation. Get a ****ing clue.
 
He can think whatever he wants. He is writing legislation that is based upon what he thinks, not about what the law is.

We can express our opinions about his foolishness. I'm glad you people picked him. He makes your party look stupid.

Annihilate the stupid party. Youbetcha!

When is the last time you checked Obama's sorry *** budgeting skills?
 
One day Paul Ryan will share the love Karl Rove got.

Good, bad, or indifferent I think Obamacare is here to stay. I just checked the latest polls on it, only 48% of Americans favor repeal today compared to 58% when it was first passed. 45% of Americans are against repeal vs. 39% after it was first passed.

I wonder since Obamacare is to be fully implemented come January of 2014, if it may not be one of the hot issues in the mid term elections? Very possible if it comes close to what the Republicans say it is. No issue at all if it lives up the the Democrats dream. But I have a feeling it will fall somewhere inbetween.
 

I think you are woefully ignorant of what the job "lawmaker" entails.

I'll give you a hint... they makes laws.... they make laws based on what they think the law should be.

Obama was/is the same way... every lawmaker is the same way.
 

Example of the party of tolerance?...Youbetcha!...NOT! :lamo

your people, they makes laws so the ignorant thinks them laws they makes are okie dokie for the pokie
 

as is the case with all comprehensive reforms, there is good, and there is bad... there is very good, and there is very bad

the opposition will sell the bad, and will ignore the good.
the supporters will sell the good, but will ignore the bad.

idiots in the cheap seats will be sold on the law either being good or bad, and they'll ignore the rest, just as they were told to do by their party.

as it stands now, nobody knows what the hell is going to happen.... not the people who wrote the law, not the opposition who opposed it.... it's a "wait and see" law... so we'll have to wait and see.... take the good with the bad (and hope to god it's more good than bad)


I'm opposed the obamacare overall... but I do see some good.
in the very huge corporate welfare bill it is, as well as a huge tax increase, at least there are a few things private citizens don't get ****ed over on.
 

I appreciate the detailed and concise plan laid out in Ryan's comments.
 

I agree. I was pretty much non-commital during it passage. But the way it was passed, with the whip, theats, bribes etc. that turned me against it. I don't know how it will finally work out, it may be the best thing since sex and peanut butter. But I always thought any bill, any legislation should be passed on its merit, not with threats and bribes.

But that is the way D.C. works now a days. Merit has no place there anymore.

Lol so is Reid, but that hasn't stopped the right from criticizing Reid on his thinking. The right is full of hypocrites
