Paul Ryan's budget plan would repeal the Affordable Care Act. But the 2012 vice presidential nominee's dislike of the health care law doesn't appear to extend to the $800 billion in new taxes it raises over the next decade.

Dáte /npr-news/2013-03-12/ryan-budget-proposal-echoes-obamacare-while-rejecting-it The proposal describes changes to the Medicare program in Obamacare-like terms.

It just wouldn't grow as quickly as now projected, he says, and would come into balance if the economy continues to expand and boosts federal revenue.
