House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Leader Mitch McConnell seem fine with the idea that as many as 30 million people could lose their health insurance in their reckless Obamacare repeal plan. At least, they don't care enough to make certain it doesn't happen.
Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Thursday declined to commit when asked at a press conference if the Republican plan would allow everyone covered through ObamaCare to remain insured.
"Look, I'm not going to get ahead of our committee process," Ryan said. "We're just beginning to put this together."
He instead called for a system "that gives us access to affordable healthcare in this country without a costly government takeover."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) also declined to make a commitment when asked on Wednesday.
McConnell sidestepped a question about whether his priority was making sure no one with coverage now was left behind.
"Let me just say, we have on the floor of the Senate now the ObamaCare repeal resolution," McConnell said. "The priorities between now and January 20th are hearings on Cabinet members."
Okay, then. The life or death of the American people isn't McConnell's priority. But you already knew that, right?
