It's Time to Repeal and Replace ObamaCare

Let's be very clear.  The Supreme Court of the United States of America was absolutely wrong to uphold President Barack Obama's key legislative initiative: ObamaCare.  We can know that Chief Justice John Roberts screwed up because he had to go beyond the Supreme Courts' powers by re-writing the legislation to uphold the healthcare reform law.  The Supreme Court, in essence, unconstitutionally became the Congress in order to uphold ObamaCare.

The judicial branch is to strictly interpret the Constitution as written to either uphold or strike down laws.  They do not have any such legislative powers.  If a law is unconstitutional as written, the Supreme Court should rule it unconstitutional and let the Congress re-write the law if needed.  Although the Supreme Court did limit the Congress' power under the Commerce Clause, it did greatly expand the Congress' power under its taxing authority.  Overall, it is clear that Chief Justice Roberts and the majority's opinion continued with the shredding of our Constitution.

Now that the unconstitutional law was upheld, Conservatives and Common Sense-thinking Independents must do what we can to elect Governor Mitt Romney with Conservative majorities in the United States House of Representatives and Senate (even if we have to hold our noses the way we did for John McCain). We cannot give Mr. Obama four more years to either circumvent the Congress, or possibly appoint more secular-progressive Supreme Court Justices.

America is hanging in the balance with a national debt increasing to $16 Trillion, and the largest tax increase is coming if ObamaCare is allowed to be implemented.  We not only have to cut waste and spending, and keep taxes low with fundamental tax replacement with 999 or the FairTax, we also have to replace ObamaCare with something better.  America needs real health insurance reform that will truly cut healthcare costs.

The healthcare reforms that we need as a replacement to ObamaCare are as follows:

  1. Expand the Health Savings Accounts (HSAs)
  2. Expand health insurance portability
  3. Allow individuals to own and control their health plans
  4. Allow buying and selling of health insurance across state lines to increase competition
