With a goal of affordable, accessible and quality care, the campaign to make ObamaCare popular fails to recognize a number of myths and realities.

“This is the kind of meeting we should have been having all along—public, open process… [but] I remain deeply disappointed that the majority’s proposal not only fails to change our debt course, but actually increases spending over the next 10 years—including $162 billion of increased spending next year alone… What is particularly troubling is that the majority shields from accountability government programs that are failing…
