We are all representatives of the American people. We all do town hall meetings. We all talk to our constituents. And Ive got to tell you, the American people are engaged. And if you think they want a government takeover of health care, I would respectfully submit youre not listening to them. – Paul Ryan

This is a government takeover of our healthcare system. It is the government basically running the entire healthcare system, turning large insurers into de facto public utilities, depriving people of choice, depriving people of options, raising peoples prices, raising taxes when we need new jobs. – Paul Ryan
