Repubs keep complaining of lack of choices in the health exchanges

[SHRED]

And the pundits interviewing them NEVER question them properly. It's so maddening.

What they need to do is point to Senator Marco Rubio and his decimating, in 2015, the funding of the "risk corridors" that were established in the ACA to provide stability to the exchanges for insurance companies.

They need to ask these weasels if they intend to bring risk corridors back to their intended funding levels since that is a huge reason that companies are pulling out.
They need to accuse these liars of sabotaging Obamacare via the SCOTUS Medicaid decision and the under funding of the risk corridors.

How difficult is that?

[Ilsa]

1. At this point they want it to fail.

They don't care that people will lose care and die.

[SHRED]

3. Which is even more reason...

...for the press to ask real questions of them.

[procon]

2. They're young and attractive, but most reporters aren't very knowledgeable.

They'd have to spend a lot of time digging into the backstory, or at least be fully briefed by a team of dedicated researchers, to be able to field a substantive question like that. Fault the media conglomerates for not getting their reporting staff up to speed so they can function with at least some degree of competence in the age of instant fact checking.

4. Chuck Todd is older

He let a Repug go on and on with no follow up.

6. Incompetence isn't age specific. nt

5. Self-fulfuling prophecy

They chip away at the funding mechanisms, and the risk corridors that reimburse insurance companies until costs balance out, then blame the ACA.

Yes, the ACA is imperfect. It needs to be tweaked and expanded.

However, to make "perfect" the enemy of "good" or even "more people have coverage" is feeding into exactly what the GOP wants.
