WASHINGTON House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said Monday that he is encouraged by an analysis from the Congressional Budget Office that found the Republican health care proposal would result in 24 million more uninsured Americans by 2026.
I think if you read this entire report, Im pretty encouraged by it, and it actually exceeded my expectations, Ryan told Fox News.
Were saying the governments not going to force people to buy something they dont want to buy, he added. And if we end an Obamacare mandate that says you must buy this government, one-size-fits-all plan, guess what, people arent going to buy that. So, of course, theyre going to suggest that if were not going to make people do something they dont want to do, theyre not going to do it.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE that those losing coverage are not people who "just don't want to buy" insurance. The CBO I believe makes that clear that those losing coverage will be those who can NO LONGER AFFORD TO BUY coverage with the new higher rates. It has nothing to do with "don't want to" -- THEY CAN'T.
"Don't want to" and CAN'T are TWO. DIFFERENT. THINGS.

OP
Ryan has no conscience and no remorse about promoting the death warrant for millions of people.

It is amazing to me that people use normal descriptive terms for this guy who is a psycho POS.

to state you are "encouraged" by the fact that 24 million are going to lose health insurance?
