The United States is searching for a solution to the healthcare fiasco in Washington, D.C. The American people were promised a full repeal of ObamaCare. However, once in power, the members of Congress threw their central campaign promise to the wayside.

Republican leadership in the House and Senate actually increased support for ObamaCare among senators and representatives.

I have asthma. Asthma is a chronic yet easily managed disease. I have been taking the same medications for years to control my symptoms. I have not needed to see a pulmonologist (asthma doctor) for the past several years. I saw one recently, primarily because my health insurance company is not covering my medications any longer. These are medications they saw fit to cover last year and the year before and the year before that.
