Rand Paul Walks Out on Paul Ryan, Takes Charge on Repealing Obamacare

Breitbart: Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) walked out of an Obamacare meeting with Speaker Ryan over Medicaid expansion and the lack of progress to repeal Obamacare.

Speaker Ryan spoke with Senate Republicans Tuesday to assure everyone that an Obamacare repeal is under way. Paul stormed out of the meeting, frustrated about keeping Medicaid expansion and creating new tax credits that Paul argues would create a new “new entitlement program.”

Paul said, “I hear things that are unacceptable to me.” He continued, “If they don’t seem to care what conservatives think about complete repeal of Obamacare, they’re going to be shocked when they count the votes.”  read more

  1. Lyin’ Ryan, from day one, has pushed to replace/rewrite obama’s socialized medicine debacle. It needs to be repealed !
    It is another opportunity to actually free the free market.
    What does Ryan have against the Constitution, Capitalism and the free Market?
    Ryan isn’t a Congressional leader, he is the puppet of special interests and those who want greater taxes.

  2. The people are with you, Senator Paul.

    And Coulter is right: What has Congress actually done in the last few months? I think the only thing that would get them excited is impeachment hearings. Coulter was right about that, too.

  3. Ryan the same speaker that rolled over for every Obama initiative on Obamacare, Syrian refugees, illegal immigrants, Iran Nuclear deal, and increased taxes.
    Republican my ass.
    You cannot abdicate your duties and responsibilities if you never assume them.
    Boehner’s weak sister.

  4. I’ve always been concerned about the “Repeal and Replace” language. Now that Ryan is trying to soften us up with the “Repeal and Repair” language, I am furious.

    I want Obamacare gone – every single page. There are some things that can happen to make the health insurance business better (make the purchase of policies between states accessible, remove the difference between group and individual policies, etc), allow health savings accounts, and tort reform. But we need to get government out of health CARE and that starts with allowing the insurance companies to compete for our business.

  5. I heard some republicans want to resubmit a 2015 repeal Bill that was vetoed by obama

    Resubmit, sign, thank you Mam. Damn I
    Really hate the collusive, sit on their fat butts republicans. .

  6. Repeal rhetoric was just a ploy to get elected. The establishment is in the pocket of the Chamber of Commerce and will do their bidding (not ours). The CoC wants obamacare because it shifts the costs of healthcare from businesses to taxpayers. Neither the Dems nor the RINO’s want it gone.

  7. As Coulter pointed out, the house passed 6 obamacare repeal bills while they knew obama wouldn’t sign it.
    Now, they won’t pass one when they know it will be signed.

    I told everyone I knew that the ‘all republicans were against it’ when it passed in 09 was a sham and phony war on obamacare.
    If the dems would’ve been short and needed five more votes, they would have gotten them from the republican party.

    I litterally hate the republican party. With a passion. I only voted for it this time because of trump. I thought after maccain i’d never vote for them again.

    The republican party is the biggest bag of asswipes on the planet.
    There’s trump, and then there’s the republican party. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING!

  8. Never going to happen
    The House passed six Obamacare repeals when Obama was president and there was no chance of them being signed into law. Back then, Republicans were full of vim and vigor! But the moment Trump became president, the repeals came to a screeching halt

  9. Ryan is more than likely influenced by his wife, who comes from a wealthy Democrat family (to be candid, Jared Kushner also comes from a wealthy Democrat family. Yes, both situations bother me) Could never, ever understand the Mary Matlin/James Carville connection, either. How could a TRUE Conservative ever THINK of spending a life with a Dem/Lib/Communist? I cannot imagine the misery.

  10. “Replace” with what? Something that delivers the same FSWOPM 0bama promised? “Repair” how? Perpetual motion machines are violations of the iron laws of engineering, and this train wreck violates the iron laws of economics and human behavior. In either case, not working is a fundamental property, not a fixable condition.

    Repeal it. All of it. If you want a program to subsidize a small percentage of the population with care needs they can’t pay for, design one, If you want insurance and regulatory reform for the rest who necessarily must, do it. But the two are different things, keep them separate. Don’t tell everyone to jump in the wagon and lie about who’s to do the pushing.
