Mitch McConnell Sounds Off on ObamaCare Failures

What Americans need and want is something that Obamacare sorely lacks -- a little legislative humility. Washington shouldn't pretend that it has a magic wand to waive that will solve something as complex as health care. When you try that, what you get is 2,000-page laws and 10 times that in new regulations, which make things worse.

Washington needs to listen more and dictate less. That means freeing states from costly mandates, allowing them to innovate, and encouraging them to work together to lower costs. Now more than ever, the answer is to repeal and replace. - Mitch McConnell

 

According to an article by USA Today, "The non-partisan Society of Actuaries last week said that because of Obamacare, insurers could pay an average of 32% more for medical claims. Those costs will be passed onto those who buy insurance on the individual market in the form of dramatically higher premiums."

Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell, who has been very open about his opinions on Obamacare released the above statement regarding the failures of Obama's healthcare plan. McConnell goes to explain that these increases in premiums could have devastating effects on the middle class. McConnell does not disagree that there needs to be healthcare changes but has a different mindset on what needs to be done including that, "Washington needs to listen more and dictate less."
