How The GOP Should Handle The Implosion Of ObamaCare

[Geee]

Investors Business Daily:

Everyday Americans will now experience the unfolding and worsening train wreck called ObamaCare, now that its major provisions became operative on Jan. 1.

 

If Republicans are complicit in this big-government quagmire, then some form of federally run health care will become permanent. If they resist the siren song of entitlements, then in three years the GOP may be able to replace ObamaCare with free-market reforms that will vastly improve America's excellent health care system.

 

The twin objectives of ObamaCare, as stated in the Affordable Care Act's text, are to provide near-universal health care coverage while reducing costs. ObamaCare will manifestly fail on both counts, as costs increase for millions of Americans, and the number of uninsured rises sharply from 47 million (including illegal immigrants, who are exempt from ObamaCare's mandates).

 

President Obama promised that Americans would save an average of $2,500 per year, that the rolls of the uninsured would drop by 30 million (presumably leaving only 17 million uninsured) and that those who enjoy their current coverage can keep it. "Period."
