Health expert: Exposing O’Care’s Broken Promises

Aetna’s exodus from nearly all its health-insurance exchanges is “just the latest piece of evidence that ObamaCare is a failed law built on false promises,” writes the Cato Institute’s Michael Cannon for Time. Its “only real selling point was that it supposedly guarantees access to care for people with expensive illnesses,” yet “ObamaCare itself is denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions.” And despite the president’s promises otherwise, “few Americans have as many health-insurance choices as [members of ] Congress.” Cannon agrees that “no one wants the system we had before ObamaCare,” but says repealing it “would create space for a sounder and more sustainable health reform than this ongoing failure.”
