The Pipes Plan

Repeal and Replace!That’s the rallying cry for opponents of Obamacare. Now Sally Pipes offers the practical, nuts-and-bolts, step-by-step plan that can make that slogan a reality. The Pipes Plan exposes why President Obama’s command-and-control approach will only make our health care system worse—and how an alternative, free market-based reform will bring down costs, expand coverage, and support innovation in life-saving drugs and technology.Obamacare puts government in charge of a sixth of the American economy; forces every American to acquire insurance coverage or pay a hefty fine; inserts federal bureaucrats into the most intimate decisions about your health issues and medical care; and makes rationing inevitable (though of course the law doesn’t use the word “ration”).And the president’s “reform” of the health care system doesn’t even deliver on its own promises—it will neither solve the problem of the uninsured nor lower health care costs. Instead, Obamacare is already driving up insurance costs and threatening to destroy the quality of care that Americans now take for granted.Can we repeal Obamacare and replace it with real health care reform that relies on the free market? Yes, we can. The Pipes Plan is the blueprint.
