A man who survived cancer despite a grim diagnosis challenged House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on his efforts to repeal Obamacare. "Because of the Affordable Care Act, I'm standing here today," Jeff Jeans told Ryan at a CNN town hall event on Thursday.
We know that House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wisc.) is desperate to repeal the Affordable Care Act. What he never has been able to explain adequately is why. Oh, sure, Ryan has offered some rhetorical explanations. He says Obamacare is "collapsing." That it's in a "death spiral." That it's a "struggle" for Americans.
