Yes, Obamacare is a serious problem. The Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Obamacare) keeps the complexity and inefficiency and makes it worse. It will cost us dearly in terms of health care costs and taxes ... and, as a result, it will cost us jobs. It will raise labor costs eventually as it goes into effect over a period of years.

But the repeal of Obamacare will simply get us back to where we were before, where we were losing millions of jobs already, partly due to health care costs.

What we need is a SOLUTION that will CUT the cost of health care.

Out-of-control costs. ---- We've been losing jobs for decades, in part due to our uniquely out-of-control health care costs. By the mid-1970's all other free-market countries at that time (OECD, 29 countries) had implemented health-care-for-all. At that same time the U.S. began emphasizing the use of the free-market to a higher extent with HMO's and "managed care". The result? The U.S. has been the only country with out-of-control costs for over thirty years.

That fact about our out-of-control health care cost is crystal clear.

Need for simplicity. ---- Our complex, inefficient system must be replaced by a simple, efficient system. Based on the average experience of those other free-market countries, our costs per person will drop by 60%. Here are six of those free-market countries compared to the USA:

Jobs? ----- Yes, we'll have jobs. When health care costs plummet from the efficiency of the best health-care-for-all in the world. For example, it will be better than Canada's 13 health care plans.

An excellent way to create jobs is improved Medicare for All via single-payer health care.
