As long as the federal government thinks it knows better than you or your doctor and holds the purse strings, health care will get worse and more expensive. With the government in control, more people will die from neglect and lack of medical professionals, proper medicine, and therapies. Simple solution is to get government out of business of any kind, including health care and health insurance.—BlueViolets via FreeEnterprise.com
We have got to cancel this obnoxious piece of bureaucracy!—Stephen Fields via Facebook
Keeping Obamacare alive is killing us! Let it die, and bring free market principals back to our health care industry, and we will drive prices down. Get our government out of the health care business. It destroys everything it touches. I don’t need to list examples do I?—pjstevenson2001 via FreeEnterprise.com
GA biz owner on Obamacare rules & regs: “I don’t know what I’m going to when 2014 rolls around.” —Rep. Phil Gingrey via Twitter
People should own their own health plans. Employers may contribute to Health Savings Accounts, and those funds may be drawn from to pay for health insurance or other medical needs. After some period of time of paying into insurance, there should be some equity guarantee against price increases or being dropped. Giving people the chance to make decisions will make them more responsible.—anotherinterestedreader via FreeEnterprise.com

With due respect to Tom Donohue, we lost this debate when the Affordable Care Act was enacted without input from the Chamber of Commerce or the American people!

Joined Sen. Orrin Hatch in intro bill to eliminate job-crushing Obamacare health insurance tax on small businesses.—Sen. John Barrasso via Twitter
I had a long conversation with my health care provider representative just yesterday. Next year his company, one of the largest in the nation, will be hit with a $6.5 billion tax to help fund Medicaid for the currently uninsured. The result will be dramatic premium increases for those with health insurance—no way around it. In this brave new world of one-size-fits-all, equality-for-all health care, the quality and availability of health care will be reduced to the lowest common denominator. There will be fewer doctors, fewer treatment choices, longer wait times, and higher costs for everyone except the elite and the poor.—swisher7 via FreeEnterprise.com
