Aetna Pulls Out of ObamaCare: ABC, NBC Ignore, Mocked Trump for Saying System was Imploding
NewsBusters ^ | May 11, 2017 | By Mike Ciandella

The major health insurance provider Aetna announced that it would be pulling out of the last two states where it still participated in ObamaCare. Yet, the morning news shows of ABC and NBC completely ignored this important news story, while CBS This Morning gave it a mere 25 seconds.

This continues a longstanding network news tradition of defending the Affordable Care Act and ignoring its failures.

In a study released on October 28, 2016, the MRC’s Bias by the Minute project detailed how the evening news shows on these three networks routinely ignored or barely covered ObamaCare’s failures during that year.

Aetna also essentially moved out of Medicare in our area. They are offering the policy, but the major hospitals and related doctor’s offices are not covered!

There are no failures of ObamaCare! If there were, the ABCNNBCBS networks would be all over it.

What the MSM is biased against Republicans? NOOOOOO.

The ACA or ObamaCare is imploding? That simply cannot be as leaders of the Democratic Party has said it is working as planed and that repealing it would kill millions of people!

So it must be working and working well to save all those lives that the Republican’s want to kill. (/sarcasm)

Aetna was the carrier I would have chosen since it offered an $1,100 annual deductible.

Floridians like me in my area will lack both affordable insurance and insurance we can afford to use come January 2018 unless the Congress acts effectively.

Can I please get affordable coverage I can afford to use before I get sick or turn 65.

There was no PPACA Medicaid expansion in Florida or in many other states.

Why would total Medicaid expansion repeal for CA/NY be intolerable when we have lived without Medicaid expansion in Florida for about seven years without apparent national Democratic politician complaint?

I call it Zerocare for good reason.
