Heading into 2016, Obamacare will continue to create challenges for patients, families, doctors, and small businesses. The Senate passed an Obamacare repeal bill to ease the pain Americans are feeling across the country from Obamacare’s broken promises, new taxes, higher spending, and greater dysfunction. In 2016, President Obama will have the opportunity to sign this bill and relieve Americans from the law’s mandates, costs, taxes and regulations.
