Ryan: CBO Report Shows Gov’t Stops Forcing People to Buy Something They Don’t Want

‘If the government does not expand Medicaid in the future, that means ... less people will go on Medicaid’

RUSH EXCERPT:
RYAN: "I think what was important was CBO put a qualifier on why and how they arrive at that estimate. And that's what I point to. I think it's pretty informative. What CBO is basically saying is if the government stops forcing people to buy something they don't want to buy, they're not going to buy it. If the government does not expand Medicaid in the future, that means future people won't -- less people will go on Medicaid. That's what they're saying effectively. So, they're not saying that we're going to be taking away something from somebody next year or two years from now. It's that people given the freedom of choice will choose not to take this benefit, not to take this ObamaCare. That's the point I'm trying to say, which is let's look at what cbo said and the reasons for their insurance coverage estimates."
