I expect the Democrats to blame George Bush, Donald Trump, Sarah Palin, and (of course) the Brexit vote for the Blue Cross Blue Shield losses, other insurers’ rate increases across the country, and other lost companies in other states.

From the article: “It’s not a death spiral yet but if you squint a bit you can begin to see it from here.”

No squinting is necessary. It was clear all the way from 2010, if not earlier. Democrats even announced, back then, that Obamacare was the transition to government-controlled, single-payer, socialized medicine. Undoubtedly, our next liberal Democrat president will be the one to make that nightmare — er — dream come true, whether it is the probable Clinton or the unlikely Trump.
