We need to repeal and replace ObamaCare. ObamaCare
has to go -- all of it. But at FreedomWorks, we think full repeal is not
enough. We also need to build a patient-centered, consumer-driven system, one
that’s so successful and popular that no politician will ever again dare to
take it over. What we don’t need is another massive, complicated
top-down overhaul. Rather, we need a few targeted, sensible reforms that reduce
costs and give patients more freedom and control. Once ObamaCare is repealed,
we supporters of patient-centered, consumer-driven care will need to go on the
offensive to enact our best ideas. Happily, some of our friends in Congress are
already preparing to do just that. Many good, debate-worthy bills have been
introduced, and more bills are expected to be introduced. Here are our
favorites. Each of these bills would move us toward a more patient-centered
system by expanding individual freedom.
We are also supportive of state-level preexisting-conditions
pools, which help people with pre-existing medical conditions afford private
health insurance without government mandates.

On Tuesday, full and complete repeal of ObamaCare passed on
a largely party-line vote.
Why do I say,"largely?" Full repeal was opposed by all Democrats, but
their ranks were joined by three Republicans:
Rep.Robert Dold (R-IL) (202)225-4835
Rep.Bruce Poliquin (R-ME) (202)225-6306
Rep. John Katko (R-NY)(202)225-3701
According to POLITICO, "both Katko and Poliquin said in
statements Tuesday that while they did not support the Affordable Care Act,
they couldn't support its repeal without something immediately ready to replace
it."
There does need to be a market-based alternative to
ObamaCare. And the good news is that
there are. There have been a number of
proposals put forth by Congress and by policy experts - you can view some of
those proposals.
But we need to put an immediate stop to the harm that
ObamaCare is doing to the American people.
We need to know for sure that these Congressmen are truly
committed to full repeal. And the only way to know that for sure is for them to
sign the
ObamaCare Repeal Pledge. Call their offices today at the
numbers above. Tell them it's time to
sign the Pledge.
