Yes, I owe you a book review. No, I have not finished the book yet. Yes, I realize it's been seven months since I made that promise or last posted. It's been a long and busy seven months.

Today I had the interesting opportunity to hear a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, specifically the representative from Ohio's Second Congressional District, talk about a number of topics, but mostly the evils of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the necessity that it be repealed. Over the course of his talk and as a response to various questions, Rep. Wenstrup made a number of decent points highlighting some of the many deficiencies in Obamacare. Problems or perceived problems with this legislation are legion, and a simple Google search will undoubtedly help you find many of them, so I won't take the time to go over them here. It was a pretty typical litany, but the issue I eventually took with his opposition is that he didn't offer any viable alternative.
