President Obama's health care plan will leave patients with fewer options, leaving many consumers to find that their health policies and doctors are no longer available to them.

Tom Miller's speech at the Pioneer Institute's health care policy luncheon and The Great Experiment book launch on March 13, 2012.

The aim of ObamaCare is not to foster competition between private health plans, but to take over the market for medical care.

Repealing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will not be enough, for a simple reason: Although Obamacare would worsen many of the problems with our system of health-care financing, that system clearly does call out for serious reform.

It is clear that President Obama cannot keep his promise that Americans could keep their health insurance plans and doctors, and Americans will ultimately be left with less choice.

While the FDA is trying to save patients from the harmful effects of new medicines,manymore patients will die waiting for the good medicines than from using bad ones.

President Obama is blaming insurers for rising insurance prices and increases in the number of uninsured Americans rather than acknowledging the role his health plan has played, but it will be much harder for him to dodge the rising tide of Americans lacking any health insurance.

If the Food and Drug Administration's policy stands, cancer patients will have to wait many more years to get access to new drugs, and they will have fewer options in the process.
