Ed Morrissey posted an article at Hot Air today about the Virginia firm nHealth, which announced that it will close its doors at the end of the year. The company stated that the uncentainties created by the Democrats' health care overhaul are the reason for the closing.
According to the article:
"The firm, nHealth, appears to be the first to claim that the new law has driven it out of business. "We don't know what the rules are going to be, and, as a start-up, our investors need certainty," nHealth CEO and President Paul Kitchen told POLITICO. "The law created so much uncertainty that is beyond our control.""
This is what the healthcare reform bill will do--it will drive private insurers out of business so that the government can take over health care. The nHealth company issued the kind of health insurance that saves subscribers money--high-deductible, HSA-driven plans that put patients in charge of routine care and leave insurance to cover the crises instead. That type of company is actually part of the solution to the high cost of health insurance--not part of the problem--and Obamacare has driven them out of business.
"Repeal and Replace" needs to be the goal of the House of Representatives and Senate after the 2010 elections. Even if we can't repeal Obamacare, the House of Representatives can refuse to fund it. That is why we need Republicans and fiscally conservative people elected to the House of Representatives. Support whatever local candidate fits that description.
