Paul: Speaker Ryan sees healthcare negotiations as 'his way or the highway'

quote:

Sen. Rand Paul on Sunday said Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) sees negotiations on the new GOP healthcare plan as "his way or the highway.”

“You know what I hear from Paul Ryan? ‘It’s a binary choice, young man,’” Paul told CBS News’s “Face the Nation.” “But what does a binary choice mean? His way or the highway.”

Paul has been a vocal critic of the House GOP’s recently unveiled plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare. Calling the plan “ObamaCare lite,” Paul has vowed to vote "no" on the measures, calling for a clean repeal of the original healthcare law.
quote:

Paul, who said he met with Trump about the healthcare legislation, said he does not think “the president is rigid in support of the House bill.”

“Well, what we’re hearing is a binary choice is it’s the Ryan plan or the status quo,” Paul said in the interview. “And what he’s rammed through his committee is his without any amendments.”

We keep hearing 'the 3 PHASES' of the plan. Does Paul know something we don't? Or is it that no one other than the GOPe really trusts Speaker Ryan?

I know one thing, the democrats will feed off of the division. It's all they got because they have no ideas other than to divide, SJW ignorance and race-bait.

Why do I get the feeling that we would be much better off if Rand Paul was in charge of changes to healthcare?


Don't trust Ryan at all.

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..

quote:

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 am of course on the side of Cary Katz But it is troubling that those (Tom Donohue) lobbying Speaker Ryan-- like ObamaCare, because they profit off of it.

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).

His district had that opportunity but they nevertrumped for him and here we are.

I have faith that Trump is going to force his hand and make them turn the bill into what Trump ran on...

Even though he looks and acts like a boy scout, I never have had a good feeling about Ryan even since he was asked to explain his balanced budget plan while he was running for vice president. He's way slicker than he looks.

I am no fan of Ryan but Rand Paul is a walking meme. Slash and burn regardless of logic or mission scope.
