Ryan: This is Our Last Chance to Repeal Obamacare

[The Other Castro]

Tbh 2012 was their last chance to repeal Obamacare.

Perhaps someone mentioned this above, but how does one square the circle of the twin Ryan claims that 1) Obamacare is collapsing of its own weight, and 2) this is the last chance to repeal it? If the ACA is collapsing of its own weight, in effect will it not be self repealing?  If the twin claims are mutually inconsistent, which claim is one to believe, or should neither be believed? Can someone help me out here? Thanks.

Politicians lie, and make a living based on how good they are at making you believe what they want you to believe.

Not commenting on the merits of the bill, which are very few compared to its vices.  But putting this in front of House committees to forward to the floor without any cost or coverage estimates from the CBO is over-the-moon irresponsible.  Yeah, they told us, the problem with the ACA was that they "rammed it down our throats," despite a year's worth of 180-some hearings, industry and congressional negotiations etc. etc.  But this one doesn't require industry negotiation, informed hearings, or even a month and a half of congressional deliberations, because it's our "last chance."  Dear GOP, you're a joke without a punchline. 

TBF, the CBO was way off on some of its ObamaCare predictions. It's not infallible.

Regardless, it's going to look very bad when the CBO comes up with an estimate of 16 million people or so losing health insurance.
