Grace-Marie Turner (2010) wrote an article that suggested that if Republicans (GOP) takes control of one or both Houses of the US Congress, at best they can initially start a slowdown of Obamacare mainly because Obama has the Veto Authority. Therefore, should Republicans win in the upcoming November elections, it is important that Republicans hold congressional hearings to explain Obamacare (Grace-Marie Turner, 25 Aug 2010).
Their strongest case would be build around the jobs that Obamacare is causing, the increase of cost of health care, and the rising deficit. In addition, until Obama is voted out of office, a Republican Congress could begin the process of repealing Obamacare (Grace-Marie Turner, 25 Aug 2010).
Turner (2010) noted six key strategies that a Republican Congress could employ:
(1) First, Defund it. Mr. Obama hired thousands of new IRS agents mainly because of his hidden plan of collecting more taxes in contrary to his campaign promises. Republicans can use these IRS Agents to police compliance including countless of Congress members and political appointees that regularly not pay their fair share of taxes.
(2) Next, Dismantle it. Even to the Democratic Congress, there are countless provisions that should be done away with.
(3) Delay it. Republicans can vote to postpone cuts to the popular Medicare Advantage. Since Obama hopes to have a second term, even Obama would not Veto such a popular provision.
(4) Disapprove Regulations. The Congressional Review Act (CRA) gives congress the authority to overturn regulations being implemented by Obama’s Czars totally without oversight from anyone including Mr. Obama. Or at least Obama claims so, which shows that Obama is not a good leader or a total idiot to trust all of his Czars based on their reputations. For example, having a child molester as the Czar for Elementary Schools in not a smart move but Obama does not care.
(5) Direct Oversight and Investigation. It is the responsibility of the Congress to control the budget not the President as has been the norm during modern times. Public hearings will high light abuse cases that are not the Obama Norm.
