2015 State of the Union address: on Health Care

Barack Obama: ObamaCare didn't crush jobs nor explode deficits

So the verdict is clear. Middle-class economics works. Expanding opportunity works. And these policies will continue to work, as long as politics don't get in the way. We can't slow down businesses or put our economy at risk with government shutdowns or fiscal showdowns. We can't put the security of families at risk by taking away their health insurance, or unraveling the new rules on Wall Street, or refighting past battles on immigration when we've got a system to fix. And if a bill comes to my desk that tries to do any of these things, it will earn my veto.

Barack Obama: FactCheck: Yes, 10 million newly insured last year

FactCheck: We don't know for sure how many uninsured Americans have gotten coverage through the Affordable Care Act, but Obama's math is in line with estimates published last year in the New England Journal of Medicine. That analysis--which was conducted in part by Health and Human Services--estimated that 10.3 million Americans gained insurance due to ObamaCare, based on the decline in the uninsured rate and 2014 census estimates.

That estimate is more generous to ObamaCare than the most recent Gallup Poll, but Gallup still found the percentage of Americans without health insurance is lower than it's ever been. The polling firm said earlier this month that roughly 13 percent of Americans lack health insurance--a steep drop of more than 4 percent since ObamaCare enrollment began.

Joni Ernst: Failed mindset gave us policies like ObamaCare

We'll keep fighting to repeal and replace a health care law that's hurt so many hardworking families.

Libertarian Party: Repeal ObamaCare and don't replace it with RomneyCare

When Republicans controlled the House, they had the chance to defund Obamacare. They refused.

Libertarian candidates have pledged to completely repeal Obamacare along with the many laws that stand in the way of low-cost, high-quality health care. Providers will compete for customers by lowering costs and increasing quality.

To help people in need, Libertarian candidates will make charitable hospitals legal. Doctors should not have to leave our borders to be able to offer free care.

Rand Paul: Compassion cannot be delivered in the form of coercion

President Obama's fundamental promise that if you like your doctor you can keep them--was a lie. ObamaCare, at its core, takes away a patient's right to choose. Under ObamaCare, patients are prohibited from choosing their doctor or their insurance. Today, more Americans may have medical insurance, but Americans are now paying more money for worse care.

The relationship between doctor and patient is withering. Doctors are fleeing the profession they love. Hospitals are straining, closing, or refusing to accept ObamaCare policies. Everyone knows our health care system needed reforming, but it was the wrong prescription to choose more government instead of more consumer choice and competition. How should we fix our healthcare system? Let's try freedom again. It worked for over 200 years!
