Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) told CBS’ “Face The Nation” Sunday that he believes Obamacare will “destroy” the country’s health care system, even though his budget assumes key savings from the law.

“I really believe it’s going to destroy the health care system in America,” Ryan said. “We believe the law will collapse under its own weight and that people will be eager for alternatives as the gorey details unfold in the future with its implementation.”

Ryan’s budget calls for the repeal of Obamacare, although it includes the deficit reduction from the law’s tax hikes and Medicare spending cuts.
