What is it about the people in Washington DC that makes them believe that they are the solution to all our problems? Whatever it is — environment, energy, toilet flush sizes and lightbulbs — they believe they know better than we do. And now the abomination of Obamacare? It’s as if the federal government didn’t already prove via the post office, the VA, Medicare, FEMA and every other poorly run, scandal ridden agency that they can’t run a one size fits all, national agency or program.

As Ronald Reagan so aptly said, “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to the problem, government is the problem.” Obamacare can not be fixed with RINOCare. This is indeed “Repeal in Name Only,” as Mark Levin says. It’s replacing mandates, regulations and taxes, with mandates, regulations and taxes. Only we’re supposed to believe they are better, because they’re Republican. The American people know better. Leave it to a Texan to say it best and simplest.

Chip Roy, Director of the Tenth Amendment Center at the Texas Public Policy Foundation writes in National Review:

“Path One is to do something different – to acknowledge the failures of Obamacare, which are massive, and then do a very un-Washington thing and honor commitments made to fully repeal it (which have been numerous), and actually roll back a federal mistake. Then, make a fresh start, with two simple steps.

First, freeze Medicaid enrollment immediately and send Medicaid dollars to states with zero strings attached to allow them to innovate and be more effective.

Second, increase portability and decrease costs through increased competition, by equalizing the tax treatment between employers and individuals. If we choose this path, we will, in essence, be saying: Let competitive markets and the states clean up the mess Washington created. Drive down costs through unfettered competition, and increase the number of doctors competing for our business. Cost is the problem. Coverage will naturally increase if costs are lowered and will provide far better health-care options for far more Americans. Furthermore, we should give states maximum flexibility to create programs for the poor and those lacking access to care as well as to create innovations such as high-risk pools and targeted health-savings accounts for those without insurance. The benefit would extend beyond health care, to creating more unity in our country through federalism – allowing us to accommodate our differences.”

God bless Texas, and the common sense of the American people everywhere. Let’s get healthcare out of the hands of Washington DC bureaucrats and back into the hands of the people where it belongs. It’s time to fully repeal Obamacare as promised. Then, respect the Constitution, the sovereignty of the states and the people and let us fix the mess that Congress has created.
