Though one congresswoman says the best chance at repealing ObamaCare is after the 2014 election, opponents of the healthcare law don't have to sit and wait until then.
Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) tells American Family Radio's "Today's Issues" that there are things that Congress can do now.
"They're out of money over at [Health and Human Services], so they were trying to take the prevention fund to stand up navigators," she reports. "You know -- they're going to go out and hire about 150,000 navigators who would help you to choose one of the exchange plans and then enroll in ObamaCare."
But Blackburn and her fellow Republicans are trying to drain that fund to put the money into pre-existing insurance healthcare, which will be handled for the next few months by the federal government.
"What we're trying to do is redirect that money to make certain people … who need the healthcare have access to that insurance product and then eliminate the ability of HHS to stand up those navigators," the congresswoman details.
She also has legislation that requires HHS to put experienced medical professionals, rather than bureaucrats, in preventive service task forces, as the Tennessee lawmaker believes that is a way to hold them accountable.
