BREAKING! Republicans Will Not Fix the ACA if the Supreme Court Guts It
By Paul Ryan urges Republican statehouses to do what they would do anyway:
If the Supreme Court strikes down subsidies to states using the federal health insurance exchanges, Rep. Paul Ryan was asked, should they set up their own exchanges to prevent people from losing their insurance?
“Oh God, no…The last thing anybody in my opinion would want to do, even if you are not a conservative, is consign your state to this law,” the Wisconsin Republican told state legislators Thursday during a conference call organized by the Foundation for Government Accountability, a conservative think-tank.
I’ll bet the federal law he’s pretending to favor instead is awesome! Well, no, actually Ryan is particularly excited about the possibility of repealing guaranteed issue and the requirement that insurance actually cover things. They are the party of death, you know.
