2016 CA Senate race: on Health Care

Duf Sundheim: Some aspects of ObamaCare ok, but rest is a boondoggle

Sundheim supports the popular components of ObamaCare, such as forcing insurers to provide coverage to Americans with pre-existing medical conditions, but otherwise thinks the law is a boondoggle that needs major surgery. Source: Washington Examiner on 2016 California Senate race Jun 4, 2015

Tom Del Beccaro: More taxes & regulations loom with ObamaCare

We are arguably headed for difficult economic times given ObamaCare's looming implementation, proposed tax increases, and ever more in the way of regulations. Congressional Republicans should pick out significant government programs that are not working. Obviously, that will be incredibly easy. Then they should lay out specific cost savings from those failed programs. For the next two years, the Republicans should hold a monthly press conference on the Capitol steps wherein they explain:

The original purpose of the Non-working Program
Who was originally supposed to have benefited from the Non-working Program
The GOP's Reformed Program
Why the Reformed Program is better for the Nation
How much the Reformed Program will save taxpayers
