Republicans in Congress are taking US health care in the wrong direction

OK, I get that Tea Party Republicans hate President Obama and are automatically against whatever he tries to do.  They have done and are doing everything imaginable to get rid of the Affordable Care Act / ObamaCare.  Then they point to delays in implementation of a few provisions of the ACA (which they helped cause by moves like the sequester of funds that's degrading services to all of us) as proof that ObamaCare should be repealed.

If you want to get the big picture of why the Affordable Care Act is so important for all of us, I recommend this video: http://www.iihealthcare.org/iihealthcare-blog/2011/8/31/the-future-of-us-healthcare.html. It's one you'll want to share with your representatives in Congress, especially those who think the private sector (insurance companies) is going to put the health of people above profits. Tell your representatives to back off and give ObamaCare a fair chance.
