Aetna CEO Admits to WaPo - Obamacare is "in a death spiral"

[Text Drivers are Killers]

What a monstrous failure obamacare is. You can't let a semi-literate affirmative action baby overhaul a $2 trillion health care system

feb 15 2017 Aetna chief executive Mark Bertolini said Wednesday that the Affordable Care Act's exchanges — the marketplaces where consumers can buy individual health coverage under President Barack Obama's signature health-care law — are in a “death spiral.”

Bertolini's remarks at the Wall Street Journal's the Future of Healthcare event came a day after the official end of his company's proposed merger with the health insurer Humana — a divorce that will cost Aetna a $1 billion breakup fee. It also came a day after Humana announced that it would pull out of all of its remaining ACA exchanges for 2018, arguing that the risk pool was unbalanced because not enough healthy people were signing up for insurance compared with the number of sick people.

“That logic shows just how much the risk pool is deteriorating in the ACA and how poorly structured the funding mechanism and premium model is,” Bertolini said. “I think you will see a lot more withdrawals this year of plans.”

lol......why would they waste time working on it when the guy in the WH would only have vetoed it........Obama knew it was broke years ago and refused to fix it......the Republicans have had the white house for four weeks, you still haven't approved the cabinet members who need to work on it and you're already whining......

If GOP is smart, they will just let it fall apart on its own. Then all the blame for this disaster goes to the dems.
