It might be the most revealing remark on the Obamacare authors’ mindsets since “we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it” and “if you like your plan and your doctor, you can keep them.” And just like these two claims, it shows the attitude of Obamacare authors and the level they would go to pass the law and sell it to the American people. Arkansans were well aware of the deceptive tactics used to ram Obamacare through Congress. It is why I fought against its initial passage and have supported efforts to undo it, defund it, and repeal it. With a price tag in the trillions, the law creates more problems than it solves. It drives up health care costs, busts our budget, bankrupts Medicare and deflates our economy. It forces people off plans they like and into coverage that does not fit their needs. On top of that, it doesn’t create economic stability for Arkansans, it raises their taxes. The American people are also well aware that more Obamacare problems are on the horizon. Dr. Marc Siegel, a practicing internist and FOX News Channel contributor, does a good job detailing what we can expect if Obamacare is left in place. It is further evidence that this law needs to be replaced. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
