Paul Ryan Did Something That Has Conservatives Up In Arms
For six years, Republicans have promised to repeal Obamacare.
And Donald Trump won the election, in part, on his promise to repeal the law.
But something Paul Ryan is doing is helping to keep Obamacare in place.
So far, Republicans have taken little action on repealing Obamacare.
Trump has exercised his authority to gut the law by signing an executive order instructing agencies not to enforce the mandate, penalties, and taxes where they can.
