The President tells Americans to ``trust'' the government, but this week is loaded with reasons not to. Take the new health care law. We were told it would lower costs and increase access. Now we find premiums could increase by 400 percent and 7 million who had insurance through their employers will lose it. This law will turn the IRS, caught in a scandal of its own, into chief health care enforcers. And it's proven so unpopular, HHS Secretary Sebelius has resorted to soliciting contributions to promote ObamaCare from the same people this law authorizes her to regulate. If I got a call, I'd feel pressure to ante up; and in America, this shouldn't happen. Today, I'm proud to support repealing this costly law to keep the IRS out of your health care and to work on replacing it with a patient- focused alternative that will actually help families. ____________________
