undercuts a key White House claim that insurance marketplaces are collapsing on their own.

Instead, according to many officials, it is the Trump administration that is driving much of the current instability by refusing to commit to steps to keep markets running

Just like another of Obama's business creations, Solyndra, if we would just throw piles of money at it -- forever -- it would perhaps remain solvent.

Trump refuses to force taxpayers to fund to the permanent pyramidal bailout of a failing business structure. So it's failure is his fault, or it's Bush's fault, or it's anybody's fault except that of the guy who foisted the BS on America in the first place.

Let's take walk down memory lane though.

Obama (perhaps you remember him) designed and sold obamacare as something that would reduce the cost of insurance policies $2500/year. In case you've forgotten that, here it is.

However, instead of the promised $2500 reduction, just one year after obamacare exchanges had opened, the average obamacare policy cost $4,865 more than policies did when he made the statement. There were never any savings. None! Ever!

Obama flat out lied!
Others like Jon Gruber laughed at Americans for being so stupid as to believe it.

Far from the savings promised in fact, cost escalation of operating obamacare policies is now so high it outstripped US rate of inflation 12-fold this past year. Obamacare cost increases are so high they outstripped growth in cost of actual healthcare provision by 400% in the same timeframe. 400%!

In light of reality, the promises made in foisting obamacare on America seem almost criminal. If you liked your policy, you were never going to be able to keep you policy. If you liked your doctor, there was never going to be provision for you to keep your doctor. Those were all lies. There were no savings. There were never going to be savings. There were only supplements ripped off at taxpayer expense and promoted as savings.

Now you want Trump to prop that mess up?

You're kidding.
