I haven't seen anybody that looked more like an 'ass kissing' frat boy that this man, Representative Paul D. Ryan (R) of Wisconsin. Would you buy a used car from this slack jawed righty? Bingo! Ryan earned a degree in economics and political science from Miami University in Ohio where he was a member of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity.
In the Ways and Means session, Representative Paul D. Ryan, Republican of Wisconsin, who offered the amendment to kill the government plan, said it would have unfair advantages over private insurers.
“It is impossible for the private sector to compete fairly with government, with all its muscle and all its tools,” Mr. Ryan said. He predicted that many employers who now provided health benefits would “dump their employees into the public plan.”

Ryan shares the same concern expressed by Senator Olympia Snowe (R) of Maine, Senator Ben Nelson (D) of Nebraska and columnist George Will: a public health care option will drive the private insurance industry out of business:
How is it that Ryan is so concerned about the fate of the private health insurance industry, which profits by denying coverage? Is this insurance industry more important than the 47 million without coverage or the fact that half of those who declare bankruptcy do so because of illness or medical bills, according to a Harvard University study?
Does Ryan's constituency believe that he is standing up for them by shilling for this industry? How can Ryan's concern about this industry be accepted as normal political discourse and not as outrageously misplaced priorities?
One indication of the derivation of Ryan's priorities comes from Watchdog.net. Ryan received campaign contributions from the following: Health Net, America's Health Insurance Plans, Wellpoint, Medco Health Solutions, Humana, Aflac, Assurant Health and UnitedHealth.
Two of the organizations, United Health and America's Health Insurance Plans, were mentioned in an article in MinnPost.com entitled "UnitedHealth, Allies Seek To Block Public Health Insurance."
