Conservative Americans use Tax Day to urge repeal of ObamaCare

LOS ANGELES, April 14 (Xinhua) -- Conservative Americans launched a campaign before Tax Day to mass support to repeal ObamaCare, the comprehensive health care plan for all Americans.

The Affordable Care Act has been passed by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by U.S. President Barack Obama. However, opponents of the ObamaCare, most Republicans and conservative Americans, have been working hard to repeal the act.

ObamaCare contains over 1,000 pages of reforms to the U.S. insurance industry and the health care industry in order to cut healthcare costs and to provide affordable health insurance to all Americans.

There are around 44 million Americans who currently are unable to get health insurance. One of the major things ObamaCare does is help these individuals to get health insurance through expanding Medicaid and Medicare and offering assistance to Americans who cannot currently afford healthcare.

The Conservative Action Alerts organization launched a campaign before the April 15 Tax Day to ask Americans to send letters, faxes or e-mails to their lawmakers in Washington D.C. to repeal ObamaCare.

The mass e-mail sent by the Conservative Action Alerts says that "while April 15 has long been an unpopular day for most of us, this year it's notably worse."

"For this we can thank ObamaCare: the biggest tax hike of our history that will raise approximately 525 billion dollars in revenues between now and 2019," says the e-mail.

The e-mail warns that the fact is: this year is only the beginning, just a pinch, as only a few of ObamaCare's many taxes have kicked in. There will be more taxes next year, more the year after, and still more the year after that. The pinch, if left alone, will become a fatal sting.

"Individuals and business are only beginning to suffer under growing weight of the law given to us by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act," the e-mails warns.

The e-mail says ObamaCare is expensive which will cost taxpayers an additional 1 trillion dollars in taxes.

According to the Conservative Action Alerts, "ObamaCare is not only expensive -- robbing us of tax-dollars to fund a program that is not authorized by a single word in the Constitution -- it is bound to fail. Big Government, as confident as it is, will not be able to carry out its self-appointed task without making a disastrous mess of it."

"Despite it being on the books for three years, despite the Supreme Court's decision declaring it Constitutional, despite the appropriations made to fund it in this year's Continuing Resolution, we want every last word of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act repealed," the e-mail says.

The Conservative Action Alerts asked ObamaCare opponents to take action and blast faxes to the U.S. Congress and demand that they co-sponsor the "ObamaCare Repeal Act."

When asked, "Is the passing of ObamaCare bad for the American public" on the www.debate.org website, 73 percent say "yes" while only 27 percent say "no."
