Health care is neither a right nor a privilege provided by the government according to House Speaker Paul Ryan.

In a Thursday interview with MSNBC’s Chuck Todd, the Wisconsin Congressman explained that he believes the government doesn’t owe it to anyone to pay for health care. Doing so enables the government to decide for Americans “where how and when we get health car,” he said.



He went on to explain that doing so gives the government too much power over people’s lives. Notably, Ryan sang a different tune during the 2012 Vice Presidential debate when he told the audience that he didn’t believe unelected judges should decide health care decisions, Congress should. That was about abortions, however.

Todd attempted to interrupt Ryan, but Ryan persisted asked that Todd not cut him off. “I love you, we’re buddies, but ya know,” Ryan told Todd. He went on to say that what health care is, however, is a need but that the answer is not Obamacare.
