During an interview on ABC, former Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy’s widow, Victoria Kennedy, told host George Stephanopoulos that the Supreme Court had made the right decision by upholding the Affordable Care Act.
“This health care reform was the cause of my husband’s life,” she explained. “He believed that it was a moral issue, that it defined the character of who we were as a society, who we were as a country, and that decent quality, affordable health care should be fundamental right and not a privilege.”
But Ryan rejected Kennedy’s assertion and promised to completely undo the law.
“We’re going to repeal the entire law and then we’re going to advance patient-centered reforms that address these kinds of issues,” the Wisconsin Republican said.
“I think this at the end of the day is a big philosophy difference,” he continued. “What Ms. Kennedy and others were saying is that this is a new government-granted right. We disagree with the notion that our rights come from government, that the government can now grant us and define our rights. Those are ours, they come from nature and God, according to the Declaration of Independence — a huge difference in philosophy.”

I want to know what these patient-centered reforms are, Paul Ryan. Personally, I think insuring children to age 26, subsidizing premiums up to 133% of the poverty level, banning pre-existing conditions, and including preventive care, focus mainly on the patient. So, what ideas do you have, Paul Ryan, that haven't been implemented? pray that you don't get sick?
ReplyDeleteDont forget ending the cap on lifetime care.
ReplyDeleteWhat are Zerban's chances before I throw money that way? I would like to donate, but I am trying to be more strategic. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteUnless we donate and visibly support Rob Zerban, he doesn't stand a chance against Paulie Ryan, the aspiring Queen of the Tea Party and GOP.
ReplyDeleteHell, I don't live in Rob's district and yet donate to his campaign to defeat the neanderthal Ryan (my apologies to the Geico caveman).
I'm shocked the sheeple in his district continue to re-elect this clown who votes against their future and our country.

A better argument against Ryan's stupidity is to reference the BILL OF RIGHTS. Duh.
ReplyDeleteSo he does have a chance then.
ReplyDeletePaul Ryan just loved the deceased cult leader Ayn Rand, even forcing his poor abused staff to read her trash. Then it was pointed out to him that she was an atheist. Suddenly God is his new BFF because the talking-to-God scam really works, just ask Governor Dead-Eyes. The rubes have been falling for it for centuries.
