Today, U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) introduced legislation to fully repeal the Democrats’ government health care takeover that President Obama signed into law March 23, 2010.
Thirty-four Republicans have already cosponsored this bill.
“Republicans are standing with the American people who are demanding we repeal this government takeover of health care,” said Senator DeMint. “Repealing ObamaCare is vital to the future of our nation and the health of our people. ObamaCare will raise health costs, reduce choices, ration care, hike taxes, cut jobs, increase the national debt, and put bureaucrats between patients and their doctors. It’s time to start over and implement commonsense solutions that allow Americans to choose affordable plans across state lines, end frivolous lawsuits that drive up costs, and gives equitable tax treatment to those who don’t get insurance from their employer.”Read the full news release and the names of the cosponsors at Jim DeMint's website HERE.

DeMint like the house, is giving the voters what they asked for.
Whether it ever passes and Obama signs it, is another issue to be addressed in 2012.

DeMint has a strong work ethic like Romney. He doesn't believe in slowing down or wasting time. Just getting the job done.
I think we should throw it out and start from scratch! Even better, let individual states decide.
Repeal the bill and start over.
