With More News Of “Train Wreck” Coming, House Democrat Freshman Get Chance To Repeal ObamaCare

May 13, 2013

  • The House is voting this week on the full repeal of ObamaCare. With the host of bad news on the law’s implementation in the past few weeks, now is the chance for Democrat freshman in the House to repeal it.

  • Any way they look at it, this “train wreck” is hurting women, seniors, and workers across the country. That’s probably why a recent poll found that just 35 percent of Americans have a “favorable” view of the law.

  • Finally, House Democrat freshman have a chance to stand up for middle-class families across the country and repeal the disaster that is ObamaCare.

Litow, “ObamaCare’s Health-Insurance Sticker Shock,” The Wall Street Journal, 1/13/2013)

In A Recent Survey, 61% Of Business Owners Cited Concerns About The Cost Of Healthcare As A Reason For Not Hiring More People. Under Obamacare, Healthcare Premiums Have Continued To Rise. (Dennis Jacobe, “More U.S. Small Businesses Cutting Workers Than Hiring,” Gallup, 1/31/2013; Merrill Matthews and Mark E. Litow op-ed, “ObamaCare’s Health-Insurance Sticker Shock,” The Wall Street Journal, 1/13/2013)

Montana Senator Max Baucus Called Obamacare “A Huge Train Wreck.”  “A Democratic senator who helped craft President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare law gave the administration “a failing grade” on Wednesday for its efforts to educate the public and small employers about sweeping changes due to take effect in eight months. ‘I just see a huge train wreck,’ Senator Max Baucus of Montana told Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius at a hearing of the Senate Finance Committee, an oversight panel that he chairs.” (David Morgan, “Democratic Senator Says Government Has Failed On Healthcare Outreach,’” Reuters, 4/17/13)

The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force Has Limited Cancer Screenings For Women. “Dozens of screening tests and treatments that directly benefit women are likely to be dropped from any coverage. Here’s a sampling of what the Preventive Services Task Force dings: chlamydia screening in most women over 25; cervical-cancer screening in those over 65; breast-cancer screening using digital mammography or MRI instead of the traditional plain film. Screening for ovarian cancer and the genes that raise a women’s risk of breast cancer also don’t make the cut. Same for clinical breast exams in women older than 40….Americans first became familiar with the Preventive Services Task Force in November 2009, when it made the controversial decision to advocate that women ages 40-49 shouldn’t get routine mammograms. More recently, it rebuffed routine use of tests for detecting the viruses that can cause cervical cancer. And now it’s calling the shots for what benefits must be included and what can be nixed from our plans.” (Scott Gottlieb, “Obamacare V. Women,” New York Post, 10/23/12)
