ObamaCare: Repeal, Replace or What?

In the dead of night on Sunday, Democrats rammed their health-care overhaul through Congress. Some say we made history. I say we broke with history, turning our back on this country's finest traditions of limited government, personal responsibility, and the consent of the governed.

Republicans remain committed to reforming health care in a way that honors these values. For the past year we have suggested ways to fix the system by reducing costs—specifically through instituting tort reform and by allowing Americans to purchase insurance across state lines.

It’s discouraging that all of this could have been avoided. Congress could have done what Republicans should suggest now: Shift to a system that allows individuals—not businesses—to buy health insurance tax free. They could also create tax credits for buying health insurance based on income and health status to guarantee everyone coverage and encourage medical care and insurance competition. Republicans should push to lower barriers for buying insurance across state lines, create incentives for states to repeal mandates, and limit frivolous lawsuits that increase the price of insurance.

It has become law. Repeal is unlikely and should not be done but there should be changes made.

What the heck is Obama Care? I am assuming it is the Healthcare Refore Bill that was just passed but Obama didn't vote on it.

The bill was a compilation of ideas from the right and the left.

It is just a name, nothing more. It refers to the just passed health reform bill which Obama pushed hard to get passed.

I want him out of office now before he does anymore damage. Let's recall him and get someone else in there with some fiscal responsibility.

"Let's recall him..."

No need to advertise your ignorance about the U.S. Constitution and our system for electing a POTUS. We all get it.

Lighten up. I'm aware we can't recall him, it's just wishful thinking. He would have to be impeached, but the way he is going that is not too far fetched at this point.
