ObamaCare was supposed to reduce the cost of insurance, hence the Affordable Care Act. But is this really what it did? States with less regulations before the law was enacted had more affordable health care costs. Take, for example, North Carolina and Nevada. They saw individual premiums for people in their twenties rise over 150 percent after the law was enacted.

What should replace Obamacare? Republicans ran in 2012 on the slogan "Repeal and Replace," but never all agreed on one plan. 

October has not been kind to Obamacare. The first of the month was the date under the law when we were to see the exchanges in place, and when we were supposed to be able to see all the savings created by the law. And yes, all of this was going to happen under the promise that if you liked your doctor and your health plan, you could keep them.

A shocking poll was released today by Rasmussen Reports that absolutely obliterates commonly repeated themes, by both Republicans and Democrats; that the Tea Party is too extreme for the average American voter. Indeed, the poll results are a clear vindication of limited government movement, both on principles AND on strategy.

In Obama’s America, responsibility is not a virtue. In fact, those who act responsibly routinely get the short end of the stick. Why would anyone play by the rules when the safety net is better than playing by the rules in the first place? The latest victim of this culture are the companies who, wisely, have begun the process of implementing the changes necessary for Obamacare compliance.

Despite the legislation’s intention, many people will be barred from Obama’s promises about insurance because the bureaucratic control mechanisms are just too costly. His political lackeys are even running scared from ObamaCare rate increases, the very same increases they swore would never happen.

Last week, I covered the first portion of my interview with South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.  In the next part of our discussion, Governor Haley relayed the efforts by South Carolina to improve health care in the state.

It's pretty clear to most folks who pay even a little attention to freedom, individual liberty, and other good things that an insurance mandate may run afoul of a little thing many of us miss called the Constitution.  Numerous activists have called asking about this, more have commented through the website, and all of us know that, should ObamaCare pass, there will definitely be a constitutional challenge.
