“You know what I hear from Paul Ryan? ‘It’s a binary choice, young man,’” Paul told CBS News’s “Face the Nation.” “But what does a binary choice mean? His way or the highway.”

Paul has been a vocal critic of the House GOP’s recently unveiled plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare. Calling the plan “ObamaCare lite,” Paul has vowed to vote "no" on the measures, calling for a clean repeal of the original healthcare law.

The new GOP plan would dismantle ObamaCare’s Medicaid expansion and eliminate the individual mandate requiring people to purchase insurance or pay a fine to the government. Under the proposed measures, insurance providers could instead charge a 30 percent penalty if there are gaps in coverage.

It would create a new tax credit system to incentivize individuals to purchase coverage.

Paul, who said he met with Trump about the healthcare legislation, said he does not think “the president is rigid in support of the House bill.”

“Well, what we’re hearing is a binary choice is it’s the Ryan plan or the status quo,” Paul said in the interview. “And what he’s rammed through his committee is his without any amendments.”
