As of November 2016, House Speaker Paul Ryan's Washington D.C. office is allowing callers to express their opinion regarding the Affordable Care Act, often called the ACA or, more simply, Obamacare. The survey can be accessed by calling either (202) 225-3031 or (202) 225-0600. In each case, there is a period of silence before callers are asked to press 2 if they want to express [their] opinion on President [Barack] Obama's healthcare law; for example, it took two minutes and 30 seconds before being able to begin the process while calling the latter number. At that point, a statement plays promoting not only Ryan's opposition to the law, but also his support for House Resolution 3762, which House Republicans passed in October 2015 in an effort to repeal portions of the ACA: At that point, callers have the option of leaving a voicemail for Ryan. However, the recording does not mention that HR 3762 also called for a one-year freeze on federal funding for Planned Parenthood. We attempted to contact Ryan's office for comment. Ryan himself has not addressed the survey either on his website or on social media.
