In March 2017, an old video purportedly showing House Speaker Paul Ryan saying that he would not give up on destroying the health care system in the United States reappeared, as the Speaker of the House worked on repealing the Affordable Care Act (colloquially known as Obamacare): The video is real, but it was not current in 2017, nor does it properly reflect Ryan's position on health care legislation. It first appeared in March 2013, when Ryan, who was the House Budget Committee Chairman at the time, was saying that Republicans would continue their efforts to repeal the ACA: Although Ryan did say we're not going to give up on destroying the healthcare system for the American people, this was merely a gaffe, not a statement of intent.
