“I think if you read this entire report, I’m pretty encouraged by it and it actually exceeded my expectations,” Ryan told Fox’s Bret Baier.

Ryan continued… “It shows that we were serious about the repeal part and that we were kidding about the ‘and replace’ part!”

Yeah, keep screaming THAT at the top of your lungs, Pauly. You’ll be lucky if you’ll be able to come out of the bathroom since so many people will hate your guts. But you can always have a staffer slide a copy of “Men’s Health” magazine under the door.

Is there some new drug on the market?
Is Ryan the test subject?

Whatever it is, I hope nobody else takes it.

Yes. But the drug has actually been around for decades. It’s called “Republiagra”. It turns people into walking hard-ons. Unfortunately, the drug doesn’t wear off after a few hours like Viagra.

Shorter Ryan: “If CBO projects cost goes down by even a dollar, that’s good enough for me no matter how many lose coverage.”

I recognize and appreciate concerns about making sure people have access to coverage," he said.

Sure, if that’s the metric, we should all be happy.

I have access to a new yacht and (what I really want) a new Tesla, today! Just because I can’t afford either, doesn’t mean I don’t have “access.”

See, what’s all the fuss?

People will lose health insurance, get sick, and die but hey the deficit was lowered. Easy come and easy go.

It just makes me wonder- is there really such a complete disconnect for these people that they don’t understand that real people will suffer and die because they cannot afford to get care? And when they do go back to emergency rooms that someone (i.e. the rest of us) will ending up paying for it one way or another, and it will be more expensive because they didn’t get regular care in the first place?

Yes. Yes there is.

To say that the CBO estimate of 24 million losing health insurance validates what they are proposing is beyond stupidity. It is cruel, depraved, and amoral.
