re: Democrats criticize GOP for moving forward on repeal of Obamacare

Because repealing means that insurance companies will trip over themselves in their haste to vacate the market

Why would payers quickly exit a market that is now not limited to plans with "minimum qualifying benefits"?

They can actually provide a broad range of products if the minimum benefits needed to sell on the exchange are eliminated. Payers are exiting b/c they can't provide all those benefits to high utilizing exchange users and remain profitable.

Nothing is currently in place that fixes the fundamental problems of cost and quality anyway. Only access is addressed, at the expense of the other two. That's terrible health policy.
