On Saturday, Forbes Magazine<\/a> posted a story about the current state of ObamaCare<\/a>. Basically, the article reports that the government is not very good at running anything and should be discouraged from doing so whenever possible.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The two largest state health insurance<\/a> co-operatives<\/a> created as part of a grand ObamaCare experiment have announced they are closing at the end of this year, joining others that have failed and even more that are insolvent and likely to fail<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Kentucky Health Cooperative announced on Friday it is going out of business and will not enroll new members next year, leaving 51,000 members to find other coverage.\u00a0 It had the second-largest co-op enrollment in the country, garnering 75% of people who enrolled in coverage through the state\u2019s health exchange.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It joins Health Republic Insurance of New York<\/a>\u2014the largest health co-op with more than 150,000 members\u2014which announced last month that it was folding.\u00a0 That follows the declaration of insolvency by CoOportunity Health in Iowa<\/a> and Nebraska<\/a> and the failures of the Louisiana Health Cooperative and Nevada<\/a> Health Co-Op.\u00a0 A total of 400,000 citizens are being impacted\u2014so far.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wasn’t ObamaCare the program the newly elected Republicans promised to get rid of if the voters gave them the House and the Senate in 2014? Then the Republicans elected the same leadership and the promise was broken.<\/p>\n

It is very obvious that ObamaCare is a bloated government program<\/a> that is not working very well. It is time for some elected official to develop enough of a backbone to say that it should not be funded. It is time to end the Continuing Resolutions and actually act like men (and women) with principles and pass a budget.<\/p>\n

I realize that in defunding ObamaCare, Congress faces a Presidential veto<\/a> and a government \u00a0shutdown. Either one of these events should be laid at the feet of the President. President Obama<\/a> is a failed President in so many areas, this might be the time to challenge him on another failed policy.<\/p>\n
