Paul Ryan: House Republicans will continue their push for health-care reform this year
Source: Washington Post
House Speaker Paul D. Ryan told Republican donors Monday that he intends to continue pushing for an overhaul of the nations health-care system by working on two tracks as he also pursues other elements of President Trumps agenda.
We are going to keep getting at this thing, Ryan said three days after intraparty opposition forced him to pull the American Health Care Act after it became clear it did not have enough Republican votes to pass.
On an afternoon call with donors to his Team Ryan political organization, he continued: Were not going to just all of a sudden abandon health care and move on to the rest. We are going to move on with rest of our agenda, keep that on track, while we work the health-care problem. . . . Its just that valuable, that important.
Ryan (R-Wis.) did not disclose details of what the next iteration of health-care reform might look like, but he suggested that a plan was being developed in time to brief the donors at a retreat scheduled for Thursday and Friday in Florida. His remarks indicated that Republicans may be trying to regroup more quickly than Ryan had suggested they would on Friday, when he declared Obamacare the law of the land for the foreseeable future.
