REP. PAUL RYAN ON OUR CURRENT HEALTH CARE SYSTEM

(h/t Jon Perr at Crooks & Liars)

 You may recall that one of the wingnut attacks on health care reform was the threat of rationing and if you point out to them that rationing occurs right now, it doesn't faze them.   Perhaps they  will believe someone with a little more credibility, like Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI).   Back in February 2010, he was interviewed by Ezra Klein and admitted that rationing is a fact of the current system:
KLEIN: A word we should bring into play here is "rationing."

RYAN: Rationing happens today! The question is who will do it? The government? Or you, your doctor and your family?
