Thomas E. Petri said "America's health care system needs reform. There's no denying that. But the law signed by this President is not the answer most Americans are looking for. We know health insurance is too expensive. The average American family has seen their premiums rise by over $3,000 since 2008. But under ObamaCare, premiums could increase by as much as 413 percent. We know that young people in America are especially vulnerable. Under ObamaCare, young Americans could end up paying 19 percent to 30 percent more for their insurance. We also know that far too many of our fellow Americans are left with no insurance coverage at all. The Congressional Budget Office tells us that even after ObamaCare is implemented, 30 million people will still be uninsured. It's time to defund this law and replace it with commonsense health care reform. ___________________
