Republicans urge repeal of Obama's health care law

Republicans in Congress do not count on the Supreme Court to declare President Obama's health care law unconstitutional. They are itching to withdraw myself.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said this week of the party Saturday radio address to note that even if the court maintains the law, "the consequences of this bill are reason enough to attract the highest priority."


Friday was the two-year anniversary of the law, Obama's signature domestic policy achievement. Monday marks the beginning of a three-day hearing before the highest court of the nation, providing an unprecedented six hours will follow the arguments about the law.
Republicans mocked the law and Obama's silence as the birthday touching. Now they are turning their attention to replacing.
"Obamacare is clearly not the answer," said McConnell. "And two years after its passage, Americans have come to their own conclusion. They do not, they think it is unconstitutional, and they want it repealed.
"The time has come to pave the way and start again, this unconstitutional law to replace common sense, step-by-step reforms that lower costs and Americans support."
Here is the full address McConnell's
Hello. I'm Mitch McConnell, U.S. Senator from Kentucky and the Republican leader of the U.S. Senate.
Just over two years ago, at a time when Americans are just some of the details of the proposed health care law by President Obama of learning, the former chairman of the House, Nancy Pelosi, made a comment that really has come toembody the Washington mentality for many Americans.
In response to questions that many Americans were expressing about the health of the President of the healthcare bill, former Pelosi said that Congress should pass, to find out what's in it.
However, two years passed and this is what we know: the president was certainly right to call for health reform to join. But the giant bill that he and others rammed through Congress has made it worse.
Therefore, as we mark the two-year anniversary of the signing of Obamacare this week, Republicans in Congress are more committed than ever to repealing this unconstitutional law and replace it with the kind of common sense reforms Americans really want reforms actually lower costs, and that puts the health back into the hands of individuals and their doctors, instead of unaccountable bureaucrats here in Washington.
If it happens, this year there happens to fall on the eve of the historic Supreme Court arguments Obamacare. Beginning on Monday, the nation's highest court will hold three days of arguments to decide, among other things, whether the law's mandate that Americans must approved by the government health insurance in accordance with the U.S. Constitution. As one of the many officials who filed a brief with the court against this bill, I do not believe it. But even if the judge disagrees with me, the consequences of this bill are reason enough to withdraw the highest priority.
When we look back at how we got where we are now, most people would probably agree that the American health care is in critical need of reform for years. Among other problems, the rising cost of health care for families, create jobs and taxpayers' exposure to many families potentially catastrophic health care costs, and lack of coverage for millions of Americans.
But instead of solving the most urgent problems in the old system, the Democrats' partisan health care law made many of these problems are even worse. The costs and premiums rise, Medicare is robbery, states now struggling to keep pace with federal mandates even more expensive than before, and the economy is being undermined as new mandates to stop employers from creating new jobs.
What's more, Americans continue to oppose Obamacare in large numbers. A recent USA Today / Gallup poll shows that 72 percent of Americans, including most Democrats, believe that the government mandate to buy health insurance in violation of the Constitution. This, together with a growing list of unintended consequences and broken promises, the cause of much of its original supporters look at another.
Instead of curing a rise in healthcare costs is Obamacare now expect health spending to increase by more than a quarter of a trillion dollars, and federal health care spending and subsidies of nearly $ 400 billion. Health care premiums for American families are expected to skyrocket to $ 2100 per year.
And the White House has now admitted that she refused to recognize as they are forced into the law: a key component of their deficit reduction claims, the CLASS Act, which is designed to deal with long-term care, can not be performed onefinancially sustainable way.
Now they tell us.
Regarding the law of the broader impact on the economy, even here the reality has proved much less attractive than the rhetoric of the president. According to the director of the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, Obamacare means that 800,000 fewer jobs in the next ten years. A recent private-sector analysis concluded that the president health care law is "perhaps the greatest impediment to hiring, especially hiring of less skilled workers.
States have their own challenges. Many could not afford the federal health care mandates for Obamacare assignment dramatic increase in Medicaid rolls - and the costs. Needless to say, even if states are able to cover the cost of up to 25 million more Medicaid patients meet, the quality of care for people who depend on Medicaid almost certainly suffer.
In my own state of Kentucky, an estimated 387,000 more people will be forced into Medicaid - at a time when the state are already struggling to provide relief to the recipients who are currently enrolled. Kentucky governor - a Democrat - is on the record saying that he has no idea, no idea how Kentucky will to fulfill its responsibilities, if law forces a few hundred thousand more people to the Medicaid program of the state. The math just is not true.
And then there are the American seniors, millions of them have learned since the passage of this bill that the care they have and do not necessarily no longer in its present form for them.
President Obama has rightly a reform attempt, he joined a long list of members of both parties who want to improve our health. But Obamacare is clearly not the answer. And two years after its passage, the Americans have now come to their own conclusion. They do not like, they think it is unconstitutional, and they want it repealed.
The time has come to the road to clear and start again, this unconstitutional law to replace common sense, step-by-step reforms that lower costs and Americans support.
