ObamaCare Costs More, Covers Less Surprise! ObamaCare is turning out to be the expensive disaster that conservatives predicted. Unless Republicans are committed in their efforts to repeal ObamaCare, it is you, the hard-working taxpayers, who will ultimately bear the burden of these costs, along with declining quality of care. Such is always the result of a socialist utopia. There is a reason why Nancy Pelosi famously said that we needed to pass the bill in order to find out what's in it.

But in the end, this is nothing but feel-good legislation. I call it that because it will not solve the problem of preventing horrific tragedies like we saw in Newtown, Aurora, Tuscon and elsewhere.
