As a physician delivering care in labor and delivery for 26 years, I know that the last thing we need is a new government bureaucrat looking over our shoulders when I am in that delivery room administering an anesthetic to a mother for an emergency cesarean section to save her baby's life. But that's exactly what ObamaCare will do if we don't repeal it. Instead of the last Congress making sure that the baby born that day has a real chance at the American Dream by creating jobs and solving America's long-term fiscal crisis, they added over $2 trillion to our children's and grandchildren's debt with that job-destroying ObamaCare bill. That's why we should repeal it today.
