Every fucking day Ryan lies about how Obamacare is collapsing. It does nothing of the sort. Sprinkle in the whole “1 insurer for x counties/states” BS, and they’re getting on my last nerve. Clearly, they don’t know how insurance works, and this is just more proof.

And when the content of the policies is mandated (at least in part) by statute, the fact that there is only one option is even less meaningful.

But none of this matters when you have a GOP that choice, in and of itself, is a virtue. Having two shitty options is a better outcome than having one good option.

To add: Ryan’s argument is almost like saying there’s only 1 utility company per county. Oh noes!

Finally, the slimy “Obamacare is collapsing” line aggravates me when the story is that the areas that have issues are those where the GOP deliberately sabotaged ACA’s efficacy. Just a continuation of the age old GOP play book:

1. Gov’t is the problem.
2. Enact bills/regs to prevent effective governing.
3. See, gov’t is the problem.

Rinse, repeat.
