Reply to "How Marco Rubio sabotaged ‘Obamacare’"

Smaller insurance companies were under capitalized and had no business being in the health insurance business. Kari you are releasing White House press releases that make no sense. Why the shock that so many of them are now bankrupt? 

When I was buying more insurance last year, I made definite care to keep away from those no name companies like Health Republic. The fact that they were so cheap should have been a signal that something was wrong with them.

Health costs in the USA are much higher than they need to be and the ACA does little to resolve this problem, because it assumes that the only cost component is the health insurance.

Medicaid is riddled with inefficiency and corruption.  They ought to focus on fixing it, before they expand it. You should hear stories of waste in Medicaid, combined with the fact that only corrupt doctors can survive providing services under that plan.

There is a need for a whole sale discussion on why healthcare in the USA is so expensive, and yet provides mediocre out comes.  Neither the GOP, nor the Democrats seem interested in that topic, because both are beholden to certain stakeholders in the medical industry.
