http://www.rawstory.com/2017/06/paul-ryan-22-million-ameircans-wont-be-pushed-off-insurance-they-will-choose-not-to-buy-it/During an interview that aired on Tuesday, Fox News host Brian Kilmeade asked Ryan to respond to a recent Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report that said there would be 22 million more people without health insurance by 2026 if the Senates version of the health care bill is signed into law.
"What they are basically saying at the Congressional Budget Office, if youre not going to force people to buy Obamacare, if youre not going to force people to buy something they dont want, then they wont buy it, the Speaker opined. So, its not that people are getting pushed off a plan, its that people will choose not to buy something that they dont like or want.
And thats the difference here, he added. By repealing the individual and employer mandate, which mandates people buy this health insurance that they cant afford, that they dont like if you dont mandate that theyre going to do this then that many people wont do it.
Ryan, however, failed to mention that subsidies for poorer Americans would be significantly decreased, making insurance plans less affordable. Insurance companies would be allowed to reduce coverage and to force patients to pay more out of pocket, meaning plans would provide less value to the consumer.
God, I despise this evil motherfucker more than anything! They will "CHOOSE" not to buy it because they can't AFFORD it you lying bastard! How does this miserable POS live with himself? And he calls himself a Christian?
