Provisions of ObamaCare Now In Effect

Wednesday, July 18, 2012
In an effort to sell ObamaCare to the American people, the law "front-loaded" certain giveaways that would have political appeal such as insuring as dependents 26-year old adults and prescription drug rebates for seniors. There are other aspects of the law that have also taken effect but which are having a negative impact on consumers. You won't hear from the mainstream media about many of these provisions but they are stiffling competition, restricting access to care and limiting consumer control.

Public Reaction to SCOTUS Decision

Tuesday, July 03, 2012

Rasmussen Reports conducted polling of the American people's views of the Supreme Court following the court's decision on ObamaCare. Rasumussen's findings include the following: "A growing number now believe that the high court is too liberal and that justices pursue their own agenda rather than acting impartially. A week ago, 36% said the court was doing a good or an excellent job. That’s down to 33% today. However, the big change is a rise in negative perceptions. Today, 28% say the Supreme Court is doing a poor job. That’s up 11 points over the past week."

A Second Opinion: What other organizations are saying

Heritage Foundation: The Case Against Obamacare

Building on decades of Heritage research, The Case Against Obamacare: A Health Care Policy Series for the 112th Congress examines 15 key provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Each report:

- Cites specific sections of the 2,700-page health care law
- Provides detailed analysis of specific Obamacare provisions
- Identifies key principles for a better way to reform health care

The unmistakable conclusion of this series is that Obamacare must be fully repealed. Congress cannot build sound market-based health care reform on the flawed foundation of this health care law. Until it can be repealed, Congress must employ its full powers authorized by the Constitution to:

- De-fund the new law’s critical aspects
- Block any further provisions from going into effect
- Engage in aggressive oversight of Obamacare – its regulations and implementation.
