last summer the Supreme Court narrowly upheld as a tax the massive government takeover of health care in America, known more commonly as ObamaCare. Since then, as the law's provisions have slowly been implemented, the size and scope of this colossal monstrosity have become clear. I opposed the ObamaCare bill from the very beginning as a Member of the House of Representatives serving on the Ways and Means Committee. Back then Americans were told that Congress needed to pass the bill before they could know all that was in it, but the more the American people learn about it, the less popular it becomes. In fact, news reports tell us the administration is now looking for help from Hollywood celebrities to push a bill that many Americans clearly do not support. That tactic has been used before. In the 1950s and the 1960s, Hollywood and some athletes were used to sell and glamorize tobacco products. Today, Hollywood and some athletes are being asked to peddle the Affordable Care Act, perhaps to make up for past sins. While the American people grow more uncomfortable with this law, the administration has allowed $54 million to be spent on ``navigators'' to help push people toward this program. Reports have suggested that there will be 175,000 of these so-called navigators, whose job it is to facilitate this law. Add that to the 16,000 new IRS agents who are being hired to implement ObamaCare, and it has become even clearer now just how flawed this law is.…
