A Second Opinion: What other organizations are saying

Heritage Foundation: The Case Against Obamacare

Building on decades of Heritage research, The Case Against Obamacare: A Health Care Policy Series for the 112th Congress examines 15 key provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Each report:

- Cites specific sections of the 2,700-page health care law
- Provides detailed analysis of specific Obamacare provisions
- Identifies key principles for a better way to reform health care

The unmistakable conclusion of this series is that Obamacare must be fully repealed. Congress cannot build sound market-based health care reform on the flawed foundation of this health care law. Until it can be repealed, Congress must employ its full powers authorized by the Constitution to:

- De-fund the new law’s critical aspects
- Block any further provisions from going into effect
- Engage in aggressive oversight of Obamacare – its regulations and implementation.
