Rep. Ryan Zinke on Obamacare: 'The Ship Is Sinking'

Congress is going to be "much more aggressive and on the offensive" in repealing and replacing Obamacare this year, Rep. Ryan Zinke told Newsmax TV on Tuesday.

"We know the ship is sinking," the Montana Republican told "Newsmax Now" hosts John Bachman and Miranda Khan. "Before you abandon it completely, it'd be a good idea to get a life boat.

"That life boat must be smaller. It must be more agile, flexible, and give the states more say in how to do it," he added. "What works in Washington, D.C., or New York City oftentimes doesn't work out in Billings, Montana, or elsewhere in the country."

The House is expected to vote this week on legislation that would repeal the healthcare plan, sending it to President Barack Obama's desk for his signature.

"We need flexibility in this system," Zinke told Newsmax. "But you have to go back to three goals: affordability, quality healthcare, and access.

"Together we can do that."
