Congressman, Doctor Agree - ObamaCare Must Go

Mississippi Congressman Alan Nunnelee (R) believes the first thing Congress must do when the new Congressional session begins is get control of spending. He also hopes the Republican-led House will pass a bill in the first week to repeal ObamaCare. "This is a piece of legislation that The Wall Street Journal has said is 'the worst piece of...legislation ever.' In 225 years of American history, to label it as 'the worst piece of legislation ever,' says a lot," Nunnelee said.

The lawmaker said he knows pundits will ask whether the Democratic-led Senate will approve repeal, and they will also wonder whether President Obama would sign it into law. However, the Mississippi congressman does not think that is a reason for inaction.

He believes "the Republican-led House ought to go on record early, I think as early as the first week, and say, 'We want to repeal every bit of ObamaCare.'"

After repeal, Nunnelee says the House could then begin discussing real reform that puts the patient in charge.

Meanwhile, a New York doctor has come up with what he calls the "conservative way forward" on health care. Dr. Richard Amerling, a practicing nephrologist and a member of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), wrote a report this week in which he argues against revising ObamaCare, opting instead for a complete repeal.

"ObamaCare is so massive and complex that to try to pick through it to find something good in it is just not worthwhile, and there's a real risk of leaving behind awful stuff," he suggests.

So Amerling says Congress should consider "common sense, free market" proposals that include transferring to employees the tax breaks employers get for buying health plans. In addition, he argues that people should be allowed to buy coverage from outside of their state to ensure that they get the plan they want at the price they want.
