56 Days Left to Delay Obamacare ~ Paul Ryan: What are you thinking?

The chairman of the House Budget Committee says there’s a better way of repealing President Barack Obama’s health care law than shutting down the government this fall — a path some Republican conservatives are backing. 

“We, all Republicans, want to repeal and replace Obamacare. … We’re having a debate about the best way of achieving that goal, the best strategy,” Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said Sunday on CBS News’s “Face the Nation.” 

Ryan, who was the GOP vice presidential nominee in 2012, pointed out that a government shutdown wouldn’t impact entitlements, including Obamacare.“Rather than sort of-swinging for the fences and take this entire law out … I think there are more effective ways of achieving that goal,” Ryan said. “We think we can do better by delaying this law. … I think there is going to be a better strategy to actually achieve our goal of ultimately delaying and ultimately replacing Obamacare.”
