House Speaker Paul Ryan of Janesville says he does not plan to bring back the Obamacare subsidies the president wiped out last week. Instead, the Republican Ryan still favors a repeal and replace approach that the Senate has not achieved this year. He says the answer is “not to shovel more money at a failing program that is doubling premiums” and causing monopolies for insurance buyers in a number of areas. In the speaker’s words, “We need comprehensive reform that actually lowers people’s premiums, (and) gives states the ability to set up their own marketplaces. Ryan made his comments to reporters following a tax reform speech in Madison to the Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce.
