Conservatives Can’t Let Obamacare’s Collapse go to Waste
Conservative Review ^ | 04/21/16 | Joshua Withrow

On Tuesday, the largest private health insurance provider in the U.S., United Healthcare, announced that it would be pulling its plans out of the ObamaCare exchanges in all but a few states. Among a continuing string of bad news for President’ Obama’s Affordable Care Act, this one should stand out as an indicator that the ACA’s collapse is accelerating. Conservatives need to be ready to explain why and to present solutions, because advocates for fully socialized medicine will be ready to turn the collapsing exchanges to their advantage.

All of the deficiencies in Obamacare’s structure have been well documented. High premium costs, unaffordable deductibles, narrow physician networks and very few choices in providers in many states have led millions of uninsured Americans to continue taking their chances and to just pay the individual mandate fine. Since those who have enrolled in the exchanges are disproportionately older and less healthy, most insurers are taking net losses from their exchange plans.

That would be true if “Conservatives” actually opposed it. However, as we’ve seen in Congress, “Conservatives” have consistently voted to fund and support obunghole care. Why would they ‘take advantage’ of it’s collapse?

But, but the so called conservatives in the GOPe want Obamacare to fail so they reform the program by instituting a single payor national health program.

Conservatives?
To my knowledge, there are none in Congress. Damn few in state governments. As someone wrote back in 2009, they are all Socialist now
Obamacare ain’t going nowhere, except toward the Federals’ unHoly Grail;
SINGLE PAYER

According to this morning’s news, 32 states have now bailed-out of Obamacare. What a train wreck. What a “legacy.”

********************
The LEGACY is that John Roberts has endorsed it as legal , it still exists and nobody is talking about rescinding or cancelling it. The LEGACY is that when it fails the “conservatives” and “democrats” will join together and “save” it by expanding Medicare to create single-payer.
