Things aren’t going so well for Obamacare. Republicans have been saying this for years, but now liberals are (finally) starting to see that Obamacare is on the precipice of failure.
This comes days after multiple news agencies report that company after company is deserting the Obamacare health insurance exchanges. Remember those? The Obamacare exchanges were supposed to be where millions of Americans could choose from a plethora of health insurance options. Well, not anymore.
In fact, according to Fortune, by next year, more than a third of all U.S. counties will have only one insurer present on the exchanges. The conservative think tank, The Heritage Foundation, concluded that as many as five states — and 664 counties — are down to only one Obamacare insurer. This colorful graphic by The New York Times highlights just how few American have access to multiple insurance options under Obamacare:
So what happens if a community is left without any health care options? As required by the law, a subsidy is provided based on eligible health insurance plans. If there aren’t any health insurance options to choose from, then, of course, no one can be eligible for an Obamacare subsidy to buy health care. That also goes for the individual mandate. The government simply can’t mandate someone to buy a plan that doesn’t exist.
At that point, Obamacare slowly ceases to exist.
This is already happening in a number of communities across the country. Case in point: Pinal County, Arizona.

News flash! The liberal media finally admit Obamacare’s doomed

I’m not sure this is such good news. Do you think they’ll just admit defeat and let it die or repeal it? More likely they’ll try to “fix” it by making it even worse.
And, remember, both Donald and Hillary are in favor of government run health care, not the free market.
