Lanhee Chen: Time to Look Forward on Healthcare

Wednesday, June 23, 2021

The Supreme Court recently dispensed with a challenge to Obamacare’s constitutionality, and the law has now survived a myriad of legal challenges since it was enacted over eleven years ago. 
 
Where should conservatives who have qualms about how much power and authority ObamaCare puts in the hands of the federal government turn their attention now? 
 
The answer is the states. Governors and state legislatures across America are looking to enact common-sense reforms that would lower costs, expand access to coverage, and modernize our health care system. The focus on costs, in particular, is an important one as we come out of the COVID-19 pandemic. Too many Americans are still paying too much for health care in this country, and more needs to be done by policymakers to address this challenge. Unfortunately, Washington politicians have shown themselves incapable in this regard.  
 
It’s time to look forward—not backward—if we want to make our health care system better.
