Most people initially had high hopes for health reform. There
clearly are problems that must be fixed. The president had promised
that if reform passed, everyone would be able to get health
insurance, costs would go down, and we would be able to keep both
our doctors and our coverage. And we were told that reform would
even cut the deficit and make Medicare stronger.
But the law that actually passed became a Rube Goldberg
contraption that can't possibly work and that fails to meet its
promises--and it will make many problems worse. Officials say it
will leave at least 23 million people uninsured, it is already
making health insurance more expensive, and it threatens major
changes to the coverage that tens of millions of Americans have
today. Seniors are frightened that its cuts to future Medicare
spending will jeopardize their care, and taxpayers see a flood of
red ink far into the future.
ObamaCare is leaving a comet tail of broken promises as it
steamrolls its way through our economy and into our lives. What
happened? How could there possibly be such a big gap between
promise and reality?
In Why ObamaCare is Wrong for America, the authors--who work for
four different conservative think tanks and have led the fight to
educate the American people about the impact of ObamaCare--explain
exactly what the law stipulates and how the law will affect each of
us: as patients, as employees, as taxpayers, and as citizens. They
also lay out a plan for reforming the law so we can get health care
right. Finally, the authors share concrete steps each of us can
take to put the breaks on ObamaCare.
