Ryan on healthcare bill: 'This is a rescue mission'

House Speaker Paul Ryan on Sunday called the GOP's healthcare bill a "rescue mission," saying that ObamaCare is collapsing.

"This is a rescue mission to make sure that we can achieve the goals we all want," the Wisconsin Republican said during an interview on ABC's "This Week."

"Which is getting the cost of coverage down, and making sure that everyone has access to affordable healthcare, especially including people with pre-existing conditions. That is what our bill does."

Ryan said the Republicans are making sure they are "stepping in front of this collapsing law."
"And make sure that we can have a system that works," he said.

It is only a "rescue mission" for the 1% so that they get a tax break and the rest of us get screwed. You motherfucking wanker!

They already have several PFDs, they don't need another one.
They want to take one from someone who only has one, many
times just one for their entire family.

Ryan wins when you amplify his message by repeating his words.

Remember Lakoff.
Start with the truth. Note the lie. Return to the truth.

Better headline "Ryan tries to defend removing pre-existing condition coverage, talking about the GOP's effort to hurt Obamacare".

bite his butt big time. Finally he and the GOP have angered all those Greedy Geezers who have been protecting their jobs. Rule number 1,"Never Piss Off Granny",and rule number 2 is,"Remember Rule number 1".
