In the next few months insurers will announce their premium hikes for the coming year; chances are, given the continuing withdrawal of major companies from the marketplaces and the ongoing failure of the bill to attract enough young and healthy participants, the new rates will not be pretty.

The left is loudly saying that Obamacare is the best of all worlds!

Why is not the left concerned about the continuing withdrawal of major companies, increasing rates, increasing co-pays, deductibles, etc.? It is a terrible system that gets ZERO publicity!

How does the left plan to fix Obamacare, more taxes? Single payer?

The right seems to be obsessed with worry about being criticized for loss of coverage of 20 million people. Is that so? Is that why we have a continuing entitlement program?

Yep; Sen Graham is on CNN urging President to work with Dems to "fix" Obamacare. I expect a creative Single Payer option for states that choose it (states' rights). If, and when, they roll out that proposal to President Trump with nonstop MSM free advertising most states will have majority of Social Security/Medicare recipients who want their piece of the pie. Socialized healthcare will be a rising tide going into the 2018 midterms, all because 239 House Republicans could not a cut a deal. Even Planned Parenthood was being cut ! That deal is gone now. I expect a Grand Bargain before, or after, the midterms depending on polling and/or electoral votes. The freedom caucus defeated President Trump; only conservative long knives could harm him. Abject defeat was seized from the mouth of opportunity. The next deal will be less conservative and more painful for all of us.
