House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) on Sunday claimed that concerns about the process of passing Republicans’ bill to repeal and replace Obamacare, which cleared the House last week in an iteration which has not been scored by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, are “a bogus attack from the left.”
“A lot of your members have conceded they didn’t read the bill. There wasn’t a single committee hearing or committee markup on the finalized version of the bill. There wasn’t a CBO analysis of this bill,” George Stephanopoulos asked Ryan on ABC’s “This Week.” “So have you met your own standard here?”
“Yeah, I think this is kind of a bogus attack from the left. Let me say a couple of things,” Ryan said. “The bill’s been online for two months.”
“Not the final version,” Stephanopoulos interjected. “The final version was an amendment that was three pages long. It takes you 30 seconds to read,” Ryan said.

‘Let Me Finish My Point’: Ryan Flustered by Stephanopoulos Over Healthcare Bill Questions
by Alberto Luperon | 10:01 am, May 7th, 2017
House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) showed up on This Week on Sunday for what ended up being a testy debate over healthcare. Does the American Health Care Act hurt people with pre-existing conditions? Host George Stephanopoulos suggested it could, but his interjections aggravated the Speaker.
“Under this bill, no matter what, you cannot be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition,” Ryan said. “Nor under this bill–”
“But you can charge people more,” Stephanopoulos suggested.
“Let me finish my point,” the Speaker said. “You can’t charge people more if they keep continuous coverage. The key of having a continuous coverage provision is to make sure people stay covered and move from one plan to the next if they want to.” He said this would keep costs down, but Stephanopoulos suggested that people can lose coverage “through no fault of their own.”
“Just let me finish my point, George,” Ryan said. “I was just getting there until you cut me off.”
He pointed out the part of the bill concerning waivers for states that want to allow insurers to charge higher premiums for people with pre-existing conditions. The fix is the federally-funded pool for high-risk patients, Ryan said.

Especially brown people and women, but really it includes everyone. Not rich, get badly injured, die, regardless of whether you own a small business, are a day laborer, or unemployed. They don't care, they are equal opportunity killers, even going after military folks. 
Everything that comes out of your mouth is a lie. Nobody believes a word that you say.
God, he is just repulsive!
