Facts About The Move To Repeal Obamacare

By Joseph Stevenson


Although United States citizens without health insurance may have initially found President Obama's new health care mandate appealing, a motion to repeal Obamacare is underway. This is because, upon further evaluation, it has been discovered that this new regulation may not offer the advantages its proponents claim. Below are a few of the most obvious reasons for the controversy currently surrounding the plan.

Americans were repeatedly assured by the President that if they were happy with their current health plan it would not be lost under Obamacare. As it turns out, this may not actually be the case. Research conducted in 2011 reveals that almost 50% of American employers are making plans to drop or change the benefits they offer after 2014.

Such studies have also concluded that over 60 million United States citizens could lose their employee-sponsored benefits through this regulating of private industry with regard to medical insurance. Numerous moderate sized business proprietors stated that they would save a greater amount of money by paying the government-imposed penalties associated with this regulation than they would if they provided the required medical coverage.

The effect of this regulation on new job growth in America is another legitimate concern of U. S. Citizens. Job growth in America is currently experiencing a decline second only to that seen during the Great Depression. Recent surveys conducted by the U. S. Chamber of Commerce discovered that over two thirds of small businesses cite the government issued insurance mandate as an impediment to their ability to expand and create jobs.

The latter will almost assuredly hasten the decline of new job openings up for U. S. Citizens. Additionally, Federal courts have determined that both the regulating of private industry and the individual Obamacare mandate which orders U. S. Citizens to purchase health insurance or pay a monetary fine anti-constitutional. House lawmakers voted to repeal the federal health insurance overhaul on Wednesday, July 11, 2012.

A Gallup poll survey recently published in USA Today states that 72% of American citizens agree that both mandates breech the country's constitution, 20% agree with the regulation, and 8% are undecided. However, regardless of mandates imposed by the President, the decision to repeal Obamacare or allow it to stand ultimately rests with the American people.
