Paul Ryan: We Did Our Job on Healthcare and We're Moving Onto Tax Reform

Addressing reporters during the weekly House Leadership press conference Tuesday morning, Speaker Paul Ryan expressed frustration with the Senate's inability to come to an agreement on healthcare and reminded Americans watching that the House has done its job to fulfill the promise of repealing and replacing Obamacare.
"We'd like to see the Senate move on something. We are proud of the bill we passed. We passed a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare and to replace it with a better system. As you well know, the legislative process for it to work, the House has to pass a bill. We've done that. The Senate has to pass a bill for us to even move forward. That's the next step, so we're hoping they can achieve that next step so that we can bring real relief," Ryan said.
But a healthcare stall in the Senate isn't stopping President Trump's agenda in the House. Ryan detailed plans to move onto tax reform in the coming weeks.

In what alternate universe of unreality did the GOP "do their jobs" on healthcare??? Hey Paul.... delusional much?
-
"We passed a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare..."
Starting your argument from a lie doesn't do you any justice, Ryan.

Paul Ryan is right..

Paul Ryan is right..
Of course he is. He is a total failure and we shouldn't hold our breath for tax reform anytime in our lifetimes.
-
Paul Ryan is right..
No. He's an idiot. What part of "repeal" doesn't he comprehend?
-
Paul Ryan is right..
Paul Ryan's job was to repeal Obamacare. Since Trump was elected, the House has failed to pass a repeal bill.

QFT
-
They should have abolished the CBO first. This would make repeal that much easier since their flawed and non-essential speculation (it is none of their business what the number of insured would be, only the projected cost and impact on the deficit) would no longer be a factor.
-
If Ryan thinks that stinker of a bill was doing his job on Obamacare, he needs a serious reality check
-
Given his understanding of the word repeal, I'm terrified to see what he thinks reform means.
-
I wonder what that small brain of his believes he actually accomplished on this?
-
Paul Ryan is right..
Of course he is. The bill the House passed, while not nearly as good as a full repeal, is still much better than Obamacare itself. It also has enough premium relief for average taxpayers that it would help in the midterms. For all those who say "repeal or nothing", what they're going to get is "nothing" (that's reality, whether people want to admit it or not), and then a Democratic takeover of Congress because the GOP did nothing. And the health care bill that emerges from a Democratic Congress is going to be much worse than ObamaCare.
