Anthem pulling out of ObamaCare market in Ohio

Anthem is exiting the ObamaCare marketplace in Ohio, leaving around 20 counties in the state without an insurer willing to sell a health plan in its exchange for 2018.

The company cited uncertainty as a reason why it’s exiting the exchanges in all of the state’s counties, particularly the question of whether or not the Trump administration will continue payments to insurers that compensate them for reducing out-of-pocket costs for lower-income enrollees.

LOL!

Obamacare’s failure is Trump’s fault.

Or Bush’s fault. Or anyone but its namesake and the Rats who passed it.

Who are “them”, is that the Insurance Company (It?)

[I want the USA back]

The left will blame Trump and a brain-dead public will believe it.

“Obamacare’s failure is Trump’s fault.”

No, now it’s the US Congress” fault. Those worthless GOPe turds, now that anything they pass WILL be signed into law, they are a “pack of shrinking violets!”

This is not how Insurance is supposed to work. This is not Health Insurance.

...particularly the question of whether or not the Trump administration will continue payments to insurers that compensate them for reducing out-of-pocket costs for lower-income enrollees.

I don't think that Trumpcare has any provision for that either.

Time to start calling it RCare (Ryan-Care, Republican-Care?)

They spent 7+ years promising to replace it.
We gave them the house, senate, and a president.
They decided they’re ok with what we have.
They own it and deserve to have it named for them.

...This is not how Insurance is supposed to work. This is not Health Insurance...

It never was. It never will be. It was meant to fall and fail on it’s own weight setting up a Hillary presidency to implement total government control through single payer.
But, a funny thing happened on November 8th.

Most of the people I'm acquainted to around here spend a significant percentage of their lives on doctor and other medical visits and take a significant array of medications. What I find interesting is the opioid epidemic in OH has gotten out of control since it's been cheap or free doctor visits and prescriptions for all. Their insurance or Medicaid/Medicare Supplemental programs makes people feel entitled.

There is NO WAY to stop medical and insurance costs from spiraling out of control unless there are some demands that people take majority responsibility for getting and staying healthy on their own.
