Exclusive–Marsha Blackburn Details Plan for Buying Health Insurance Across State Lines

Over the last 7 years, while we’ve painstakingly watched Obamacare nearly destroy our healthcare system in America, we have learned quite a bit, though, to Republicans, none of it is too surprising. As it turns out, Americans want choices. They want flexibility. They want health insurance that works for them and their families. They do not want to be told what plan to buy, when to buy it, or where to buy it. They are sick of health insurance plans they can hardly afford to buy and that are too expensive to use.

What About The American Worker?

The biggest casualty of the President’s executive amnesty, aside from the Constitution, has been the American worker. President Obama is handing out millions of work permits to illegal aliens at a time when many Americans are struggling to find a job. It is difficult to grasp why President Obama seems more interested in lending a helping hand to illegal aliens than American workers. Sadly, the issuance of work permits is often an overlooked part of the President’s amnesty.
