Ryan: Current Health Bill Won't Pass.
According to a report in The Washington Post, House Speaker Paul Ryan said on Wednesday that his health care proposal has to change if it is going to pass in the House. He had previously said that the legislation would fail if it was changed. The shift in Ryan's opinion came after a private meeting with House Republicans on Wednesday. “Now that we have our score ... we can make some necessary improvements and refinements to the bill,” he said, referring to the Congressional Budget Office’s estimate of the impact on the number of those covered by health insurance and what the GOP proposal would cost. Ryan did not say specifically what changes were under consideration.
