Issue Position: Obamacare Must be Repealed

Issue Position

2,800 pages of unintelligible psychobabble. It's the most egregious seizure of power and treasure from the American people in history. It's the worst idea in an elaborate history of bad ideas. It's a book of lies, based on lies, sold by liars. Obamacare must be repealed. Period.

We don't have a health care problem in America. America is home to the very finest doctors and medical infrastructure in the world. We do not have a health CARE problem. Further, private health INSURANCE policies work relatively well. The health insurance policies themselves are not necessarily a problem… the problem is what these policies cost us. We have a health insurance EXPENSE problem. It's a problem that could easily be fixed. Lobbyists and special interests lead by the TRIAL LAWYER LOBBY in DC rigged our system long ago, when it was federally mandated that EACH STATE have its own unique infrastructure for every health insurance provider. This is why we have Blue Cross of Louisiana, Blue Cross of Mississippi, Blue Cross of Texas, etc. Think of all the costs associated with having staff and brick-and-mortar in each state. It's defies logic.

When we buy auto insurance, it's easy and relatively inexpensive. That's because the auto insurance providers can sell their product across state lines. Imagine the cost of State Farm, Progressive or GEICO if we had to have Progressive of Louisiana, Progressive of Mississippi, or GEICO of Texas? Imagine the paperwork and infrastructure expense for each insurance company -- expenses that would be passed to the consumer in the form of higher premiums. Imagine what your auto insurance expense would be if your auto insurance company had to have 50 separate infrastructures of personnel, 50 separate unique regulatory guidelines and 50 separate sets of brick and mortar offices.

We can fix the health insurance expense problem in America fast and it would cost the taxpayer zero. All we have to do is release the free market from the restraints of federal mandates that currently exist. Very quickly, health insurance costs would plummet. Within a year of unrestricted free enterprise, buying health insurance would be just as easy and inexpensive as buying auto insurance is now. Overall, we need less government interaction with our healthcare system.
