Speaker Ryan rules out working with Democrats on health care
Trump has hinted at bipartisanship after failure of GOP repeal bid
By Tom Howell Jr. - The Washington Times - Thursday, March 30, 2017
President Trump may be hinting at a health care deal with Democrats, but House Speaker Paul D. Ryan said Thursday he isn’t interested in that, saying it would be better to rally the GOP troops around a conservative plan that scraps Obamacare.
“I don’t want that to happen,” Mr. Ryan told CBS’ “This Morning.” “You know why? I want a patient-centered system. I don’t want government running health care. The government shouldn’t tell you what you must do with your life, with your healthcare. We should give people choices.”
The House GOP’s first attempt at health reform ended in embarrassing defeat last week.
