House Republicans are laying the groundwork for legislation to replace Obamacare by arguing that the law will exacerbate the rising costs of health care as it further insulates doctors from the need to compete with each other for patients.

“Independent experts believe that the Affordable Care Act, despite its name, will actually further increase what Americans spend on health care, both in terms of money and time,” House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee on health care chairman James Lankford, R-Okla., said in a statement to The Washington Examiner. “The health care system needs real reform, and the ideal reform would aim to address the two primary concerns highlighted by today’s witnesses – reducing the amount of third-party payment in health care and providing patients with additional information related to health care quality.”
