Derailing ObamaCare: Support Rep. Marsha Blackburn's Health Care Choice Act

May 26, 2011

For the benefit of debate, let’s assume that when the Obama Administration and radicals in Congress hired 16,000 new IRS agents, authorized huge tax increases, put more power in the hands of the federal bureaucracy and cut half-a-billion from Medicare it was for the noble objective of providing more Americans with better access to quality health care.

What’s the old saying? The road to Hades is paved with good intentions.

ObamaCare is not just wrong philosophically, it not only violates the Constitution; it is bad public health policy!

While we steadfastly oppose the federal take-over of health care, and are working for a repeal of ObamaCare, we can all agree that Americans need better access to quality, affordable health care.

That is why we support Tennessee’s Representative Marsha Blackburn, who is making national news with the Health Care Choice Act.
Read the bill here.

Rep. Blackburn’s legislation is one step forward in derailing ObamaCare. Instead of giving more control of health care decisions to the government, power is in the hands of consumers. The Health Care Choice Act removes arbitrary walls between states that prohibit consumers from purchasing health insurance products across state lines.

Denying consumers free market competition creates artificial markets that drive up costs and limit options. Studies show that simply removing these artificial barriers to competitive insurance coverage will make health care insurance products more economical, giving 8.1 million more Americans access to quality health care.

Hopefully both sides have the same goal; to provide better health care to all Americans. Unfortunately, not both sides have the best plan. The national take-over of health care is the WRONG way. Providing greater choices and free market competition is the best way to gain more Americans better access to care.

Support Rep. Blackburn’s Health Care Choice Act today. Take the power away from the government and big insurance companies, and put it back in your own hands!
