Even though the PPACA was signed into law one year ago, the promises made are not being achieved. Insurance companies are raising premiums or dropping out of the marketplace altogether in response to the increased demands mandated by the legislation.  In order to provide political cover and find a new villain, the Obama administration is micro-manging the insurance market by setting up new bureaucracies to determine the merit of premium increases. This government meddling and establishing of price controls is precisely what got us here in the first place and will only serve to continue the problem of decreased market competition and rising prices.

It's been one year since the president signed the PPACA into law and the doctor has had a chance to examine the patient.  Unfortunately, for patients, physicians and the American taxpayor, the diagnosis is grim.  Despite all the lofty rhetoric, false projections and empty promises, the new healthcare law has failed to meet almost all it's goals.  The good news is there is a treatment available.  It is called repeal and replace with patient-centered, physician-led reforms that takes into consideration the perspective and experience of "practicing" physicians, not misinformed and sheltered academics and bureaucrats.

Michael Cannon explains all the deficiencies and negative consequences of the PPACA and why we need to shut it down and replace with alternatives that will protect what works well in the current system while addressing those areas that truly need reform.  Furthermore, he makes the case for state governors to not initiate the groundwork for their state insurance exchange while waiting for a Supreme Court decision since this is exactly what this administration is counting on.  The SCOTUS decision may very well be influenced by how entrenched the roots of Obamacare have taken.  Complying with the HHS Secretary in laying the groundwork for this new bureaucracy will be counterproductive to states who are resisting the new law.

On the PPACA's one year anniversary, the Obama administration propaganda "machine" is ready to roll out another nationwide public relations show in order to continue peddling their unpopular and financially "disastrous" health care takeover.  Gas prices are at record highs, the Middle East is in chaos under civil war, the economic superpower of Japan is in a crisis that threatens the economic stability of the entire world and our nation is crumbling under a fourteen trillion dollar national debt, yet the White House feels compelled to squander additional taxpayer money to continuously try to brainwash the American public into "liking" their idea of healthcare reform.  Here is a News Flash to Kathleen Sebelius, President Obama and the rest of the Washington elite:  Americans have had time to learn what is in the law and they reject it by even greater margins than one year ago and they are growing tired of the endless selling of Obamacare and want the president and elected officials to focus on the major issues of the day.
