This New Access Points grant program that Ryan requested money from is funded fully by the Affordable Care Act, a fact made clear on multiple government websites. The claim that Bush "created" this program is also unfounded. Federally-funded health centers were created through the Public Health Services Act, legislation signed into law by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1944. New Access Point grants have existed well before the Bush administration came to office.
So, it wasn't a Bush thing, it was an FDR thing, but it also wasn't Obamacare so the article is now moot, but we put the update at the very bottom, hoping that folks will only read the headline and maybe the first paragraph.

No one has claimed that Ryan is perfect and without fault. For fuck's sake, he's a politician. Even the libertarian lion, Ron Paul, does whatever he can to get money for his district.

But, please, continue to beat this dead horse. It's not going anywhere, but you seem to enjoy the flagellation.
