“‘Repeal Means Repeal.’…Not partial repeal or repeal of pieces of Obamacare or some repeal and some acceptance and some tinkering with the legislation Obama just signed. Repeal.”
According to a survey by the Council of Insurance Agents And Brokers, the vast majority of employers face raising insurance costs and pass those costs to their employees, despite President Obama’s promises that families would see their annual premiums reduced by $2,500.
Disproving ObamaCare’s promise that “if you like your plan, you can keep your plan,” a health insurance company offering high-deductible policies to be coupled with health savings accounts is closing after only two years of operation because they will be unable to meet the new burdens of ObamaCare, leaving consumers with less choice and less competition.
Republicans should defeat the nomination of Dr. Donald Berwick to head Medicare and Medicaid. The President and his allies have said that ObamaCare wouldn’t lead to government control of our health-care system, but that’s exactly what it would do, and Berwick has made it abundantly clear that that’s exactly what he wants.
After a series of projections by independent experts and revelations by businesses, Americans are becoming increasingly aware that ObamaCare is anything but a cost-cutter.
As the true costs of ObamaCare keep coming to light, Americans’ desire for repeal — merged with their concerns over jobs, spending, and deficits — will likely produce a “wave” election.
Incumbent Democrats are planning to campaign on their newly passed government-run health care bill, but are finding that their strategy to hope that passage would make the bill more popular has not panned out.
President Obama pitched his plan to take-over the health care system with frequent reference to research showing that much of the federal spending on health care is being wasted and could be redirected to his new entitlement programs without any loss in quality or access, but new research is showing that those claims might have been wishful thinking.
The Federal government was given broad discretion to implement regulations limiting the profits of insurance companies by regulating their “medical loss ratio,” but a board of state insurance regulators missed a key deadline to provide guidance to HHS which could delay implementation and cause uncertainty for insurers and businesses.
Funding to cover the uninsured in state-based, high risk pools until the new insurance subsidies are rolled out is woefully inadequate and would cover less than 10 percent of those eligible, according to studies.
