In an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on Friday, Ryan (R-Wis.) compared his legislation repealing the Affordable Care Act to the vaunted 1996 welfare reform law, which basically ended the federal governments commitment to cash assistance for parents in poverty.
This is so much bigger, by orders of magnitude, than welfare reform, Ryan said.
Obamas Affordable Care Act made more people eligible for Medicaid, which currently provides health insurance for nearly 70 million Americans. The Republican health care bill would roll back Obamacares Medicaid expansion and also dramatically reform the way Medicaid works.
As Ryan put it on Friday, We are de-federalizing an entitlement, block granting it back to the states, and capping its growth rate. Thats never been done before.

(3,836 posts)he is gonna finally win. He can taste his victory. He's been waiting for it for years, and he can be right and watch as his simmering & banked hatred seeps into the world.
He will celebrate his hateful legacy for Seniors & Children, for non-whites, non-christians, non-males, non-rich, non-GOP, non-healthy, non-working people. In other words, his hatred for all who are not like him.
He is a cancer waiting to metastasize

An old NYTimes piece about Ryan written for St Paddy's day 2014. Seems just as apropos today!

(27,817 posts)... Paul Ryan talking about some legislation that would hurt people where he wasn't wearing that smirky smile.
He undoubtedly gets a raging hard-on when discussing anything that he knows is going to negatively impact the citizenry -- in fact, it's probably the only means by which he can get it up at all.
I guarantee you Lil' Paulie got the shit kicked out of him every day he was in school, and now thinks he is getting revenge on the world.
He is one sick fuck.
