Obamacare: An Affront to Our Freedoms And Wrong For Business and Families

As the House of Representatives takes a vote to repeal Obamacare this week, we have to remember that this is a law that is an affront to our freedoms.

As the House of Representatives takes a vote to repeal Obamacare this week, we have to remember that this is a law that is an affront to our freedoms and has already negatively affected millions of Americans. The same law that, while not fully implemented until next year, has put further uncertainty into business owners all across this country. We must demand a full repeal of this law.

Obamacare contains over $1 trillion in new tax increases, further putting a hold on the economy that needs every break it can get.  Because this plan affects every American, its grasp really hits hard on the hard working middle-class taxpayers, pushing families into a deeper economic hole. When businesses are forced to cut hours or positions because of Obamacare’s strict regulations and taxes, our economic growth will continue to be stagnant.

The increased costs of Obamacare have also led to a decrease in care. With less access to appropriate care and restrictions on Americans, the law is unsustainable.  Not only is it an intrusion on our liberties, but the cost and implementation of the law is too great a burden that it will collapse under its own weight.

We can’t spend money we don’t have. We also cannot put burdens on families and businesses that they can’t afford. Demand a full repeal of Obamacare by signing the petition here.
