Ryan is the epitome of neocon hypocrisy.His days as speaker are numbered.
(CNN)House Speaker Paul Ryan on Wednesday urged Republicans to vote for their party's candidates
If anything gets me to change my mind at the 11th hour about Trump, it's ObamaCare. It simply has to be fixed, and I know damn well that Clinton will only make it worse.
I am no longer affiliated with the Republican party. This year's convention and candidate have finally convinced me that the Republican party is no longer the party for conservatives. I have always been a conservative. As such, I switched to the Constitution Party and will vote for my candidates first, and Republicans second.To Republicans - you ran me off along with other conservatives. Your candidate's operatives are talking about purging conservatives from the party. Now you whine that we need to come back. Not going to happen.
Obamacare can't be fixed - period.Neither can Hillarycare, or Romneycare or even Trumpcare. Government involvement in health care needs to STOP. Repeal and do not replace. End it, kill it and assign it to the dustbin of history.
Some easy fixes, from someone who's written a book on the subject: Get rid of the employer mandate. People can only afford health care if they're working full time.Allow real competition in the ACA exchanges, not just as to copays and deductibles for gold-plated coverage, but also options for more limited coverage including catastrophic-only coverage. Allow insurers more latitude to price policies based on age (the current 3 to 1 ratio forces the young to subsidize the old, and the cost of coverage causes many young people, quite rationally, to decline coverage). Encourage simple employer health reimbursement accounts to allow employees to purchase individual health coverage in the ACA exchanges. That's the single most effective means for getting younger lives into the individual insurance marketplace and curbing the current premium death spiral. It also lets employers get out of the health insurance business and get back to making widgets. DON'T mandate, as many conservatives want, competition across state lines. The states should retain their traditional sovereignty to regulate the insurance marketplace. But at the same time, free up the states to allow less costly, less comprehensive options in their ACA exchanges. And, of course, the no-brainer - medical malpractice/tort reform.
I agree. Ryan supporting Donny like this will get him thrown out of the Speakership.
