Health Care

The "ObamaCare" bill was not about health care, but about health insurance. Insurance companies have been in bed with governments for decades now, and now health insurance is the only product that is actually required by law for you to purchase. Real health care, or rather insurance reform, will allow people to make more decisions and take more responsibility for themselves, not less.
In any case, medical insurance and regulations on health care and insurance agencies is not a power constitutionally granted to the Federal Government.

Repeal Obama Care!!!!

If people had to pay for their own preventative care out of tax-free savings accounts that never expire and can be inherited (as all savings should be), and could only purchase "major medical" insurance for things that cost above a pre-determined amount, not only would the cost of insurance be drastically lower, but so would the cost of health care as people would shop around more for the best deals and the best doctors.

Another part of the problem is that insurance companies are backed by government regulations that allow them to play both sides of the fence. They provide medical insurance, and then they also provide financial services, and other products like mal-practice insurance. In each case, they put restrictions and requirements on doctors, providers, and patients. This ultimately limits everyone's choices and costs everyone more money, thus insuring that only the insurers win.
