Dave Ross issues a challenge to Paul Ryan

Aug 29, 2016, 11:10 AM

³ÉÈËXÕ¾ Radio’s Dave Ross was quick to issue a challenge to Speaker of the House Paul Ryan on Monday.

Not long after Ryan tweeted that consumers should drive America’s healthcare system, Dave told Ryan exactly what he wanted to see happen.

Ryan argues that we can either have a government “forcing us and telling us what we have to do,” or a system “we put ourselves in charge.”

“We can have a system in this country where everyone has access to quality health insurance … without a costly one-sized-fits-all government mandated, government-run system,” Ryan said.

Ryan’s statement follows the latest on the Affordable Care Act. that the act, also known as Obamacare, has suffered from defections and premium increases.

“Critics of Obamacare have pointed to the recent problems as proof the market is not working,” the Times reports. “While even the law’s staunchest defenders are arguing that the marketplaces need some fixes.”
