Galen Institute's "Repeal and Replace" Simple Guideline
Repeal and Replace ObamaCare
By Grace-Marie Turner
So what do we mean by that, exactly? The fallout from ObamaCare is just beginning, with news articles every day showing the damage the health overhaul law is poised to inflict on our economy and health sector.
The latest Rasmussen poll found 54% of those surveyed want the law repealed. But there are real problems in our health sector that demand it be replaced with a better plan.
Opponents of ObamaCare have seized on the repeal and replace theme as an acknowledgement that we must stop this government takeover of our health sector and offer better ideas.
So here is a handy guide to the key policy ideas behind Repeal and Replace, letter by letter:
Repeal ObamaCare's massive new taxes
Eliminate job-killing mandates on businesses
Protect citizens from IRS enforcers by repealing the individual mandate
Eliminate cuts in benefits to seniors on Medicare Advantage
Avoid crippling the states with expensive mandates
Limit government intrusion into personal medical decisions
AND
Real help for people to purchase health insurance they choose
Expand states' ability to help people with pre-existing conditions
Put Medicare savings into saving Medicare
Lawsuit abuse reform
Allow doctors and patients to control medical decisions
Control costs though consumer-friendly health reform
Expand access through cross-state purchasing of health insurance
AND STOP THE RECKLESS DEFICIT SPENDING
