Despite blocked attempts to fully repeal the so-called Affordable Care Act, this law is doomed to collapse under the weight of its own flawed design. Just last week, Democratic Senator Max Baucus of Montana, a key architect of the Affordable Care Act, referred to the administration's signature health care law as a looming ``train wreck.'' Another promise that was used to force passage of the President's health law was broken in February, when the administration's Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced that it would stop enrolling people with preexisting conditions due to funding constraints. This week, the House will vote on the Helping Sick Americans Now Act, which would extend access to those with preexisting conditions. The coverage would be funded by eliminating the Prevention and Public Health Fund, a program under ObamaCare identified as rife with mismanagement and taxpayer abuse. While full repeal would have been less costly and painful, the gradual failure of the Affordable Care Act is inflicting significant pain on families, businesses, and our economy. Don't take my word. Just listen to the Senator from Montana. His recent remarks aren't far off the mark. ____________________
