Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), one of his party's top voices on fiscal matters, calls the newly passed health reform plan a "fiscal Frankenstein" that will "make insurance more expensive," providing an opening for the GOP to push for a partial repeal.
Ryan, the top Republican on the House budget committee, said the plan will help "a very small segment of the population," such as people with pre-existing conditions, but make life more expensive for "the vast majority of the population."
"What matters to people is: Are their premiums going up or are their premiums going down?" Ryan said in an interview as his Capitol Hill office for the POLITICO video series, "Health Care Diagnosis."
Ryan, who calls himself "a numbers guy" and resists talking about political strategy, said he'll be pushing for what he calls a "repeal and replace" approach to rolling back the law Obama signed on Tuesday.
