8 hours ago I wrote to Senator John McCain about Omama Care & this is what he wrote back to me: Dear Mr. Davis: Thank you for contacting me with your views on the health reform legislation passed by Congress in 2010. Three years after its passage, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) remains one of the most controversial bills ever considered in Congress. While I support improving our health care delivery system to bring down costs and increase access to affordable health insurance, and have put forth several detailed proposals, the PPACA is not the answer. As written, this legislation would lead to higher health care costs, increased taxes, trillions of dollars in new federal spending, $715 billion in cuts to Medicare, and more expensive health insurance. Despite the President’s repeated claims to the contrary, the new unsustainable entitlement created by PPACA will add to the deficit, undermine America’s global leadership in health care innovation and quality of care, and put the federal government in charge of writing the health insurance policies that individuals and employers are mandated to purchase. I believe we need to repeal the new health care law and replace it with common sense reforms that will drive down the cost of care while improving accessibility to affordable health insurance coverage. This can be achieved by increasing choice and competition by allowing individuals to purchase insurance policies across state lines, enacting medical malpractice reform, focusing on prevention and incentivizing wellness programs, and establishing affordable coverage mechanisms for individuals with high-risk and preexisting conditions. I will continue my efforts to replace the unsustainable health reform law that was forced through Congress with reforms based on competition and freedom rather than the expansion of the federal bureaucracy. Thank you again for writing to me. Please feel free to contact me if you have any other comments or questions. Sincerely, John McCain United States Senator 2Like · · Share
