Carolyn Mann: If Obamacare not repealed, yet fails, what happens to those who need care?
Obamacare is already in a death spiral according to the CEO of AETNA, which recently pulled out of all but four ACA marketplaces. Other insurers have also abandoned most, if not all, of the marketplaces – including Humana, United Health and Blue Cross/Blue Shield. If Democrats are successful in blocking the repeal and/or replacement of this failing system, and the ACA collapses, what then?
We see a lot of stories about angry protestors urging legislators to keep Obamacare, but none about the consequences of those protests being successful. Isn’t that also an important story? Please enlighten us.
