There was so much big news last Thursday, the day Trump accepted the nomination, that this significant Obamacare story got buried. Humana health care has announced it is pulling out of most Obamacare exchanges. From Politico:

    The decision means the company will only offer individual plans in 156 counties in 11 states, down from 1,351 counties across 19 states this year. It had sold plans on Affordable Care Act exchanges in 15 states this year.

That’s quite a pull back, from 1,351 counties to just 156. What’s particularly noteworthy about the decsion is the timing. From the Hill:

2/3 of the state exchanges have already gone bust. More will follow.

I predict that Blue Cross  Blue Shield will follow Humana

Do you think the government will pass a special tax dedicated to paying for the indolent and welfare loafers?  I do.  Although I doubt the tax money will be used as it is supposed to.

And yet Rubio never gets any thanks. Despite it being solely down to him.

Obama care is doing exactly what it was designed to do!  Lay the groundwork for "We have no alternative but to move to single payer."
