1. ObamaCare & Things the Federal Government Can’t Do – The left circle lists things ObamaCare does. The right circle lists things the federal government cannot do. The individual mandate? Both circles.

2. You Can Keep Your Plan…as Long as It’s ObamaCare – President Obama repeatedly promised, “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.” And as long as your plan is ObamaCare, he’s right!

3. ObamaCare vs. Freedom – Americans should be free to make health care decisions based on what’s best for them and their families. ObamaCare takes that freedom away.

4. This Is Your Economy on ObamaCare – Liberals used to claim that ObamaCare would create hundreds of thousands of jobs. The real question is, how many jobs will we lose?

5. What “Saving” $2,500 Looks Like in ObamaCare – President Obama promised his health care plan would “save the average family $2,500 on their premiums.” Can you find the savings?

    As my husband and I are approaching retirement age, the ObamaCare socialized medical care is frightening. We are trying to stay fit and eat right to help prevent any catastrophic medical problems in the future. Our feeling is that ObamaCare doesn't care! V

    Jack: No one but the uninformed, reflexive Republican voter takes you and the Republican Study Committee seriously. If it had been up to the Republican Party, NO reforms would have been made to health insurance at all and people like me, the uninsured, would continue that way forever. Thank God Obama had the guts to try to reform a terrible situation. Whatever imperfections in the legislation can be worked out over time, but any effort to repeal the legislation completely is merely servicing your special interests that pay the Republican Party to represent them in Congress. It certainly would not be beneficial to the American people.

    I.) Why does the GOP continue to refer to call the Affordable Health Care Act as "Obamacare" --- legislation passed by the Congress??? 2.) Is it not true that the Gop was the originator of national individually mandated health care?

    The issue with health care is primarily that those with pre-existing conditions are discriminated against. In the absence of a group plan it can be impossible to obtain health insurance at any price. I sold my business 4 years ago and part of the terms were that the new owners would keep me on as a consultant for minimal pay just to insure that I would continue to have health insurance. The new owners have folded and now I am faced with coming out of retirement, building a new company and creating a new group plan just to insure that I can obtain health insurance. I guess the bright side is that I will create jobs in the process. I would be happy to interview you on my radio program. Christian Financial Radio Network http://cfrn.net
