Did Rubio do something right on Obamacare?
Did a Rubio budget measure back in 2014 doom Obamacare?
Sen. Marco Rubio may have dealt the biggest blow in the GOP’s five-year war against ObamaCare.
A 2014 budget measure inspired by the Florida Republican and presidential hopeful is pushing some insurers to drop out of the ObamaCare exchanges, experts say.
“I think this is one of the most effective things they’ve done so far in terms of trying to undermine the Affordable Care Act,” Tim Jost, a healthcare law professor at Washington and Lee University, said of Republicans in Congress.
This fall, more than a dozen health insurers representing 800,000 people have dropped out of the ObamaCare exchanges, many out of fear that the administration no longer has the cash to cushion their losses in the costly early years of the marketplace.

Nationalize these evil insurance companies! Only single-payer government run death panels can save us.
“Fundamentally transforming the American health care system to be more ‘equal’ means that young healthy people are going to have to pay a lot more.
It means that the very old are not going to get the technology and drugs for the last couple of years of life to keep them going. It’s too expensive. So we’re going to let them die.
It means using the bargaining leverage of the federal government in terms of Medicare, Medicaid… to force drug companies and insurance companies and medical suppliers to reduce their costs.
But that means less innovation, and that means less new products and less new drugs on the market, which means that extending people’s life spans will stop.” Robert Reich
Instapundit says that The Hill is a reliable Dem organ. They may be pushing Rubio because he’s going to go along with amnesty.
The left is starting to realize 2016 may be lost, but are instead trying to win the long game with immigration.
These health care companies fell all over themselves to get in bed with Obamacare. Their chickens are now coming home to roost, and the insurance death spiral that many of us predicted is in process. Good riddance to these grifters.
What a freaking health care mess Obama has left us all.
