Obamacare is So Flawed, We Have to Start Over

Regardless of the Supreme Court decides on health care law, we should repeal it and replace it with common-sense solutions that will make health care more affordable for Americans.

The Supreme Court is expected to rule on the constitutionality of Obamacare sometime this month. Americans want to repeal all or part of the law by margin of 2 to 1. It’s no wonder, as we are living the nightmare of Nancy Pelosi’s “We have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it.” While we wait for the court’s decision, the president’s health care law has already become a giant discouragement to our job creators. In order to pay for the monstrous new entitlement, the bill includes several new taxes.

Its repeal is a victory for those of us seeking to dismantle the fiscal quagmire of President Obama’s health care reform law. A former director of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office called CLASS “the poster child for President Barack Obama’s health care reform: bad policy, deceptive budgeting and stealth government expansion.” The top Democrat on the Senate Budget Committee called it “a ponzi scheme Bernie Madoff would be proud of.” It is also the key policy linchpin the Obama Administration used to offset the $1 trillion price tag on …

U.S. health care for those who can afford it or have insurance that will pay for it is second to none, hands down. It is not only Canadians, but folks of means from every nation come here. For those of lesser means and insurance...well, there are different kinds of rationing/limiting.
