Joe Miller on Health Care

 


Repeal ObamaCare; it's unconstitutional and won't work

I support the repeal of ObamaCare. ˙First, there is no Constitutional authority for it. Currently nearly half of the state governments have filed suit in federal court because they share this view.

Second, even if ObamaCare were Constitutional, its benefit is built upon a crumbling foundation, and it will do nothing to control costs. This legislation adds millions of new beneficiaries to the already broken Medicaid program. ObamaCare will not work and will likely make our medical system worse.
