Facts Surrounding The Motion To Repeal Obamacare

By Joseph Stevenson


Although appearing at first to be an ideal solution for those without health care insurance in the United States, a move to repeal Obamacare is well underway. This is due to the fact that upon closer inspection, this mandate may not offer the benefits its proponents claim. The following are some of the most obvious reasons for the current controversy surrounding the plan.

President Obama has consistently promised U. S. Citizens that if they are pleased with their current medical insurance plan they will not lose it under the new law. Ultimately, this statement may not have been accurate. Research conducted in 2011 revealed that almost half of American employers have plans to change or drop the coverage they provide after 2014.

The study also revealed that over 60 million Americans could lose their employer-sponsored coverage due to this government mandate, which essentially regulates private industry regarding health care coverage. Many moderate size company owners stated that they would save more money by paying the employer mandate penalty to the government than they would if they offered the required health benefits to their employees.

Additionally, many Americans have legitimate concerns about the effect of this mandate on new job growth. The latter is in the worst decline the country has seen since the Great Depression. The United States Chamber of Commerce conducted recent surveys that indicated 73% of small business owners blame the recent mandate on their inability to expand and offer additional jobs to the American public.

This will ultimately speed the decline of the number of new job openings for American citizens. In addition, Federal courts have ruled that the individual Obamacare mandate ordering American citizens to buy health insurance or pay a monetary penalty, as well as the regulating of private industry, are entirely unconstitutional. House lawmakers voted Wednesday, July 11th, 2012 to repeal the federal health care overhaul.

A USA Today Gallup poll survey that was published recently shows that 72% of American citizens believe that both regulations breech the nation's constitution, with only 20% being in favor of the law and the remaining 8% undecided. Despite the current mandates associated with the aforementioned regulations, it is ultimately the decision of the American people to repeal Obamacare or allow it to stand.
