Back in September of last year, one of the owners of a small Waco, Texas, software company showed me a notice he had just received from his health insurance provider. This notice showed that as a result of ObamaCare he was faced with a 30 percent increase in his health insurance premiums. Now he has to deal with the harsh reality of cutting the size of his workforce to deal with this increase, or worse, to cancel coverage altogether. What is even more disturbing is that this is just the beginning of what is to come under ObamaCare. All across our Nation this cost-increasing, job-killing, tax-hiking bill is inflicting irreversible damage on American employers and families. Rather than learn from this in the outcome of the midterm elections, Democrats choose to oppose and dismiss Republican efforts to repeal ObamaCare and to replace it with something better. There are solutions and clear alternatives to improving our health care system, and the first step is to repeal ObamaCare.
