WASHINGTON ― House GOP leaders are forging ahead with their health care legislation, downplaying a potential conservative mutiny on the Republican proposal to overhaul the Affordable Care Act even as there are real questions whether their plan can pass. Ryan seems to have been living in a different world on the health care proposal. He said the legislation was the product of a “bottom-up process” that was more than a year long. In reality, committee leaders wrote the bills in private in exactly the way they wrongly accused Democrats of drafting the Affordable Care Act: without hearings or rank-and-file input. Ryan said any member who wanted to participate in drafting the repeal and replace plan could have helped.
