The U.S. health care system needs reform, but

ObamaCare is the wrong reform. Congress

should replace it with common sense reforms

aimed at controlling costs.

ObamaCare is not a perfect law, but it is a good

start. Congress should work to fix the parts of the

law that do not work.

ObamaCare is a good law. Congress should

leave the law alone and focus on other issues.

ObamaCare does not go far enough. Congress

should work on single-payer health system

legislation.
