Stephen Moore Quotes

The real problem with Obamacare has little to do with the number of people signing up, and a lot to do with the restrictions on insurance companies and reimbursement rates to doctors.

Obamacare is socialism? Nope - as insurance companies vie to sell new policies, competition within private industry is growing rapidly, with the number of participating insurers growing by 26 percent between 2014 and 2015, and the number of products they offer growing by 66 percent.

We need to increase access to health insurance through Health Savings Accounts and high deductible policies, so individuals and families can purchase the insurance that's best for them and meets their specific needs.

I am an Obamacare agnostic - if it works, as I hope it will for the good of the nation, then it's a great thing. If it doesn't, then that is a disappointing thing, and we need to try something else.

I don't think it's any secret I've never been an advocate for the Affordable Care Act.

It's correct that I wanted health reform to do more to create choices and promote competition.

Reformers in Washington need to do a better job of explaining how market-based alternatives to ObamaCare are a better outcome for the structure and delivery of health care.

As Obamacare devolves and starts to fall apart, what do you get? This big-government largesse that is involved in Obamacare, my fear is that it's going to devolve into a single-payer system, and we really can't afford to let that happen.

There isn't a lot of honesty when it comes to discussing Obamacare. Too many Republicans lie about the implications of the health-insurance program and dismiss out of hand the reasons a massive overhaul of the long-time system is necessary.

When I ran for Congress I promised to help make health care affordable again.

Let's drive the message home: we need health insurance reform, we need a strong public option, and we won't settle for less.

When President Obama passed health care reform, it was personal! And when Governor Romney says he would repeal Obamacare and put insurance companies back in charge of a woman's health, that's personal too.

I have been absolutely clear where I'm coming from about health care reform. This is something this nation has to do and a robust public option has been the mantra of my campaign from the very outset.

I'm not a supporter of ObamaCare. I voted to repeal it, to defund it, et cetera. But we do need to move on.

We need the ability to buy healthcare insurance across state lines that would increase competition and drive down cost.

I would prefer a public option that would be a competitive option that would allow people to buy into a Federal Employee Health Benefits Program, which is a series of private plans.

I don't know what's going to happen specifically on votes on Obamacare. I suspect we'll vote to repeal early to put on record the fact that we Republicans think it's a bad policy, and we think it's hurting our constituents, and we think health care cost should be going down, not up.

The small businesses that I've talked to have consistently said that the cost of health care is one of the things that they need the most help with.

Without Romneycare, I don't think we would have Obamacare.

We have to bring relief as fast as possible to people who are struggling under Obamacare.

With health care, despite the fact that we as a nation have already chosen to provide health care in one form or another to everyone, we have, until Obamacare, chosen to pick the least cost-effective means, a mix of private and public offerings, of providing that care. That makes no sense.

In the Senate, I will defend the protections in the Affordable Care Act, and expand health care to more Americans.

Obamacare has made a mess of our health insurance and health care systems, and Washington politicians have failed to fix the problem.

Obamacare has driven entitlement spending up much faster than expected.
