ObamaCare can be — indeed must be — ‘repealed and replaced.’ This invaluable book provides the arguments to win the public debate and replace ObamaCare with a genuine reform that truly delivers world-class health care at a cost we can afford.

Edwin Feulner

At a time when core American principles are threatened on every level, this book will arm you with the knowledge, facts, and insight on what YOU can do to help repeal this bill.

George F. Will

This timely and lucid book is the thinking person’s answer to two questions: Why is this fight crucial to Americans’ health and America’s civic health? And how can it be won?

John A. Boehner

“Why ObamaCare Is Wrong for America is carefully researched, well written, and a mustreadfor anyone concerned about the future of health care in our nation. It proves withouta doubt that this law will bankrupt our nation and hurt economic growth.”

Steve Forbes

This succinct and lucid summary of the horrors of ObamaCare and what we the people can do about them will be an essential handbook in saving us from medical socialism and bringing true free markets to health care — which, in turn, will generate more health care at less cost!
