Four years ago, I asked Paul Ryan when Republicans were going to release a plan to replace Obamacare.

“I don’t think we’re gonna settle specifically on one bill because there are a lot of people who have different ideas on how to do this,” Ryan told me. “I think the nominee will have a lot to say about that, but I think what we will aspire to do is put out a vision on what a patient-centered healthcare system looks like. And that vision is the replace side of repeal, which is what we want to execute in 2013.”
