Paul Ryan Calls Obamacare Repeal Plan An Act Of Mercy
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/paul-ryan-obamacare-repeal_us_58bf0e81e4b0e6e6ccb57bbc?
An act of mercy.
That was House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Tuesday, talking about the new Obamacare repeal bill ― a proposal that, according to an early estimate, could make up to 10 million people newly uninsured.
That estimate, from Standard & Poors, is crude and tentative. But future evaluations of the GOP proposals likely effects, including the official projection from the Congressional Budget Office, are likely to reach a similar conclusion.
Not that anybody should be surprised. The legislation would roll back the Affordable Care Acts expansion of Medicaid. It would also shift the laws federal tax credits for insurance, so that the young and healthy get more relief, but the old and sick get less.

It's an "Act of Mercy!" It's faster to put someone out of their misery, than a Grassley Death Panel.
