here is their argument. watch. we didn t tell the voters we would repeal obamacare but keep a bunch of the taxes for an extra year and bring back the cadillac tax. we didn t tell them we would repeal obamacare but take the medicaid extension. we didn t tell them we would provide insured subsidies and the bell and have a 30% penalty even though the mandate is gone. there is no three-step process, there is no three-step plan. that is political talk, politicians. there is not going to be phase three legislation, it is one and done. martha: it is day 54 of the first 100. i am martha maccallum. tonight, we welcome speaker paul ryan, the driving force behind that. mr. speaker, welcome. congratulations on the gig. martha: thank you. great to have you heard tonight. let start with your colleagues on the hill, you just heard the sound from tom cotten and jim jordan and the house. what is your answer to them? first of all, this is the replacement plan that we ran on. remember, we had
