Paul Ryan doesn't want to restore Obamacare subsidies
MADISON - U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan signaled Monday he does not want to restore Obamacare subsidies that President Donald Trump is cutting.
Instead, Ryan said, Congress should take a more comprehensive approach and repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act — something the U.S. Senate has failed to do despite multiple attempts this year.
"I think we’ve got to do more to get it fixed, but the answer is not to shovel more money at a failing program that is doubling premiums and causing monopolies," the Janesville Republican told reporters. "The answer is to reform the underlying failure of the law and one of those underlying failures is the lack of choice and competition in health insurance.
"Propping up Obamacare and just giving insurance subsidies to insurance carriers to keep a failing system propped up is not the answer."
