Rep. Renee Ellmers raised awareness of a new problem with Obamacare’s implementation: the creation of private-sector health insurance monopolies that will limit Americans’ provider choices.

Other Republicans less and medicine for Conservatives will be questionable and delayed to the maximum.
Every fed failed program ends up doing one thing it gets bigger and Obamacare is at the top of the list.
