Congress fails, Obamacare here to stay

Published in Blog on December 05, 2017 by Convention of States Project

Congress has proved conclusively that they're incapable of making the tough decisions for the good of our nation. 

After years of promises, they've failed to repeal or replace Obamacare. 

The AP reports:

Senate Republicans, short of votes, abandoned their latest and possibly final attempt to kill the health care law Tuesday, just ahead of a critical end-of-the-week deadline.

The repeal-and-replace bill’s authors promised to try again at a later date, while President Donald Trump railed against “certain so-called Republicans” who opposed the GOP effort. But for now, Trump and fellow Republicans who vowed for seven years to abolish President Barack Obama’s law will leave it standing and turn their attention to overhauling the nation’s tax code instead.

The GOP’s predicament was summed up bluntly by Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, a lead author of the legislation: “Through events that are under our control and not under our control, we don’t have the votes.”

“Am I disappointed? Absolutely,” he said after a GOP lunch attended by Vice President Mike Pence.

Meanwhile, America's health care system will continue to collapse as insurance companies pull out of state exchanges.

What's worse, however, is that Obamacare's survival means the federal government will continue to regulate the health care decisions of American citizens. 

Congress can't fix the situation, which is why We the People must call an Article V Convention of States.

A Convention of States can propose constitutional amendments that get the feds out of healthcare -- and every other area not expressly mentioned in the Constitution.
