Rep. Paul Ryan: "This is NOT About Health Care Policy… This Is About Ideology" (Video)

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) took the floor minutes ago and gave one of the best talks of his young career urging House members not to socialize the nation’s health care system.

Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) says the Pelosi plan will cost the nation $3 Trillion (at least). Heritage says it will cost $2.4 Trillion.

Rep. Paul Ryan:

Will this bill raise the debt and budget deficit? Yes
Will this bill take coverage away from seniors? Yes
Will this bill raise premiums for families? Yes
Will this bill decrease health care innovation? Yes
Will it raise taxes on small businesses? Yes
Will it raise taxes on workers? Yes
Will it cost us nearly 5.5 million jobs when our unemployment rate (under Obama) is 10.2%? Yes
Does this bill mean our government will take over running our health care system? Yes

But, Pelosi and democrats still want to ram it down our throats anyway.

   This bill is about control and power. The same control and power the dems/communists have in abortion. The control and power of life or death.

   Here is perhaps the biggest provocation of all:

   Will this bill provide our EVER-INCREASINGLY FASCISTIC government with a PRETEXT FOR CONTROLLING ANY ASPECT OF OUR LIVES in any way that can possibly impinge on one’s health? YES!

   You have to have a brain to think it through, and this is obviously lacking in the Democrats in the House. This is what happens when you vote in stupid people who actually believe they are intelligent.

   I bet in 20 years it will be TWO TRILLION [2010] DOLLARS EVERY YEAR just to cover the cost of ObamaCare.

   TWENTY?! Why, the democrats are so good at what they do that I’ll bet that they can get that high in less than half that time.

   The democrats aren’t good for much, but inefficiency and waste are their hallmarks. You can count on them.

    If it becomes law, the currency will collapse and the U.S. government will be bankrupt within 5-10 years. Mark it down.

    George Soros hates capitalism and wants the system to completely collapse to start a new system. He’s reportedly been massively shorting the dollar. He’s visited the White House 4 times already, what do you think they’re talking about?
