Summary: This morning, Speaker Ryan appeared on Fox & Friends to discuss the plan of action for Obamacare: repeal this law, replace it step-by-step, and deliver relief to the American people.

Repealing Obamacare—why now?

“It’s because the American health care system is in the middle of a collapse. It’s because five states only have one health insurance choice. One out of three counties only have one health insurance choice. Deductibles are triple that of people in the large group market. Premiums are going up double digits again. So we feel the need to rescue this system here, and that’s why we’re going with health care first.”  

During the interview, Speaker Ryan discussed other top priorities of the 115h Congress, including tax reform. Watch the full video above.
