Obamacare Failing the Public & Insurers
New Report About Obamacare Will Have Even Obama Hating It… This is BAD
2/28/16
President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act has been trouble since day one — and it’s not like we didn’t expect it.
Recent news regarding just how bad Obama’s health care plan is reveals just how damaging it is not only for insurance companies but the public as well.
UnitedHealth, America’s largest insurer, said it regreted entering the ACA exchanges and planned to pull the plug on the costly endeavor this year. The company claimed its losses because of Obamacare top $1 billion.
If UnitedHealth is experiencing trouble, we can bet that other insurance companies and co-ops are as well.

Eight of the 11 remaining ACA health insurance co-ops face financial trouble and could actually collapse by the end of the year, said Mandy Cohen, a federal health official.
Twelve of the 23 non-profits co-ops established under the ACA in 2012 to compete with for-profit insurance companies have shut down after two years of operation.
Cohen, who testified Thursday before a House oversight panel, refused to disclose which of the remaining 11 co-ops are struggling, but did admit that eight of them are facing either federal “enhanced oversight” or are currently operating under a federal “corrective action plan,” according to the Daily Caller.
Cohen also refused to give assucrances that any of the three remaining co-ops not currently operating under a “corrective plan” would survive the year. “Too early to tell in the year,” Cohen said. “As new information comes up, if we need to, we will put more folks up on corrective action plans.”
I don’t know about you, but any insurance company that is on a “corrective action plan” set in place by the federal government is a recipe for more trouble. It’s basically prolonging the inevitable — failure. When almost half of the insurance co-ops are failing due to ACA, no amount of government “intervention” is going to help.
This is more than enough reason to repeal Obamacare.
