I wish I could find the article I was reading on this yesterday. When I do I will post the link. But it basically said that before Speakers Ryans professor tutorial he meet with a lobbyist. There is also a lobbyist (a billionaire conservative name I wasn't familiar with) for complete repeal of ObamaCare and he doesn't like Ryans way.
So it is another battle of the billionaires that lobby.
I found it..

There’s no doubt the Paul Ryan proposal holds the worst U.S. CoC aspects demanded by Tom Donohue. Heck, Donohue poured a lot of lobbying money into the entire architecture in ’09/’10 and he’s paid republicans in congress hundreds of millions to make sure his interests in keeping ObamaCare around are protected. Ryan is big GOPe and he’s supported by the Big Club.
And, as much as Paul Ryan is beholden to Donohue to retain some form of ObamaCare, so too are the Rand Paul / Ted Cruz types paid by billionaires like Cary Katz (Conservative Review); who want an abject repeal without compromise.

I was against Ryan becoming SOTH from the start. When he was elected, the first thing Ryan did was appoint some C of C exec as his top assistant. That just confirmed to me that we were screwed. A lot of people probably think the C of C is a good organization, but in many ways it isn't. For example, that organization is one of the primary reasons why the government has never clamped down on employers for hiring illegals. They want businesses to have cheap labor.
None of these people are perfect by any means, but I'm definitely on Team Paul here (and I'm with him most of the time).
