One Third of ObamaCare Co-Ops Have Failed

[Sun Devil 92]

Republicans have cut any funding to help out Obamacare any way they can. And still,

Now...if they could only afford to use it.

I have posted one source from BEFORE it started...

How can something be a failure before it happens?

A design is often reviewed and judged BEFORE its rolled out.

Don't bother.....it's not in their talking points

"One Third of ObamaCare Co-Ops Have Failed"

It's remarkable how most don't get it – willful ignorance, perhaps.

The issue isn't the ACA or whether it's 'successful' or not.

The issue is that there are far too many on the right who want to 'repeal' or 'defund' the ACA and replace it with nothing.

If you think the ACA is a failure, fine – but you need to also offer what you'd replace it with to achieve the goals the Act sought to realize, where 'doing nothing' isn't an option.

Oh yes it is.

Of course, it has some serious consequences.

But "do nothing" is better than "do something stupid".

Those of us who pay taxes would consider adding $353 billion to our tax burden to be "something stupid."

Who says we have to replace it? Nothing in law says that. If anything it goes against the law.

You were going to give us some of those "many more examples," weren't you?

Quid Pro Quo... Show me a LINK to the LAW that SAYS either the United States is OBLIGATED/REQUIRED to provide YOU with healthcare OR quote me from the Bill of Rights where you have THAT right.

Take your time, now go fetch.

Wait a minute !!!!

Your quote or link is more than 10 minutes old.....

FIND SOMETHING NEWER !!!!!

Correct.

Bush was a moron.

No reason not to admit Obama isn't one too.

Notice his interest in raising taxes on oil now that prices are lower....can't afford to let people drive around on cheap gas.

This is hardly a surprise. Those of us with a functioning brain said six year ago this would be one broken, expensive boondoggle. Despite this, the Obamabots continue to claim this legislation is such a resounding success.

Capitalism is working by killing off the weak companies. It's called competition. I can see why the corporate socialists hate it.

It sure did.

Now my neighbor's health care budget is competing with his food budget for the same dollar.

Great job.

Or did you mean between the mega insurers who are now in a competition to see who can screw the little guy the hardest.

From your own article:

That’s a huge improvement over the current status quo. Of course, there’s no guarantee that the wide variety of insurance plans will compete with each other effectively and make their health care services cheaper for the Americans who need them. But, as the White House put it, “the early signs are promising.”

And they were right........

Your comparison is plan to plan.

All the low cost plans got pulled because they did not meet spec.

Obama and his lying SOS (Sack-O-S***) minions didn't start calling anything junk until people lost their plans and it became obvious they could never compete with the better value plans.

This says it better:

For a succinct explanation of why Obamacare is making health insurance more expensive for millions of Americans, check out this short interview with Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini. Bertolini identifies three main factors: 1) Obamacare imposes a requirement that, on an actuarial basis, insurance cover at least 60% of health care costs. Currently, more than half of Americans who buy individual coverage are below 50%. 2) Obamacare imposes 4% to 5% additional cost in the form of new taxes and fees. Aetna alone will pass on $1 billion in Obamacare taxes and fees to its policyholders. 3) Obamacare mandates many coverages, whether customers want them or not, and requires insurers to provide subsidized coverage to those who are already sick.

In essence, Obamacare has made cheap health insurance illegal.
