Speaker Paul D. Ryan said on Sunday that criticism of the way the House passed its health care bill — no hearings were held on the final version, and it has yet to receive an evaluation from the Congressional Budget Office — was “kind of a bogus attack from the left.” “This is a rescue mission” as “Obamacare is collapsing,” Mr. Ryan said on ABC’s “This Week.” “This is a crisis. We are trying to prevent this crisis.” (Weiland, 5/7)

House Speaker Paul Ryan declared on Sunday the Republican House health care bill was not only good policy but also good politics, fulfilling the long-standing GOP campaign promise to repeal and replace Obamacare. "Health care is a complicated and very emotional personal issue. And we completely understand that," the Wisconsin Republican said on ABC's "This Week." "The system is failing. We're stepping in front of it and rescuing people from a collapsing system. And more importantly, we're keeping our word." (Gee, 5/7)
