The Pipes Plan makes the choice in health care clear--the country can either continue to follow President Obama and congressional Democrats down the costly road of mandates and centralization or we change course and move to a system based on freedom and individual choice. Pipes chronicles Obamacares early failures--high risk pools that cost millions but enroll few and state-based exchanges that states decline to create. Since the the book came out, the CLASS has been repealed as an unworkable fraud. Americans can be sure the new taxes will not be repealed. This book is a must read for concerned Americans who want a prescription for sound health policy.

Get informed and get active to stop the cancer of ObamaCare before it metastacizes.
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2012
Many people talk about "repealing ObamaCare", but few have said exactly what we have to do to accomplish it. The 2,700 page tumor of legislation that became the law cannot be undone completely with one swipe of a pen. Too many pieces have been put in motion. Too much funding was pre-authorized to simply stop all at once. And this is exactly what its enactors intended. They thought they had outsmarted any effort to stop it. Let's hope they are wrong.
The media, with a few exceptions, has really been a part of the pro-Obamacare marketing department. The public needs more information about what this abomination has in store for them. Once they learn how bad it is from experience it will really be too late. And that is what Obama and his massive bureaucracies are counting on. That we will wait and complain but acquiesce. So, we need to get informed now, get angry now, and act now.
Sally C. Pipes, who has long experience with the huge expense of free government healthcare and its poor results (she's from Canada), has previously told us the "Truth About ObamaCare" The Truth About Obamacare : and here provides insights into ten of its core problems, how to stop them, and why these approaches to ending ObamaCare will work.
Even so, she admits there is a long road ahead with lots of work to fix our medical care system. Why? Because of decades of Progressive work to involve the government in running the system for POLITICAL benefit to the politicians and their favored cronies rather than fostering liberty and free markets in medical and supplementing only where it is truly needed and at the most local level.
This is a short book, but packed with solid information that you can use to get informed to discuss with your friends so you can band together and hold our representatives and government bureaucracies accountable.

I listened to Ms.Pipes hawk her book on Coffee and Markets and was less than impressed. It's the same-old-same-old we must dismantle Obamacare, let's give everyone a health saving plan as a solution, talk that hasn't gone much of anywhere.
It ignores that consumers must have cash to participate in HSA plans. I'm not opposed to the gov't funding HSA's for folks to give it a try, but don't feel that it is the solution to rising costs.
One good investigation into an illness can blow through $10,000 in no time. Once you're past your deductible and the coverage kicks in where's the cost containment?
She talks like extending coverage to 26 y/o is a bad thing. In today's market some 19-26 y.o can buy coverage at prices their parents might be able to afford, but some, particularly if they've ever seen a doctor, can't. I know this because I've shopped and purchased coverage for my college-aged children.
SHe talks like eliminiating pre-existing conditions as a reason to refuse coverage is a bad thing. If you've never been sick it's not a problem. Try have a run-in with cancer or diabetes or whatever and see what you think about that.
Conservatives have a problem with replacing Obamacare because they ignore how hard it is to find affordable coverage on todays' markets. Try buying coverage and see for youself! She mentions that she's from Canada and is glad she doesn't get care there. First off that tells me she's insured here. I know many Canadians with cancer. Sometimes they gripe about drugs/treatments that are available to those with good coverage in the US, but none of them would trade because they don't even want to think about what would happen to them in the US if they didn't have coverage.
So, IMO, the author has rehashed the past and added much value.
