Humana Bails on ObamaCare

If ObamaCare had a soundtrack, I think it would have to be the classic Queen number, "Another One Bites the Dust."  UnitedHealthcare has already bailed on ObamaCare exchanges. So has Aetna. And now, Humana is gone, too:

Humana will stop marketing Obamacare exchange plans in several states next year and will exit many off-exchange individual markets as well, the company announced today.

The decision means the company will only offer individual plans in 156 counties in 11 states, down from 1,351 counties across 19 states this year. It had sold plans on Affordable Care Act exchanges in 15 states this year.

Dwindling options. Spiking premiums.  And then there are stories like this one of people who purchased the only plan with a premium they could afford, only to later discover that the high deductible meant that they would have to shell out thousands of dollars before their coverage ever kicked in.

There's only one answer: repeal and replace ObamaCare. Visit TheRepealPledge.com today and see if your Congressman and Senators have signed the Pledge.  If they haven't, give them a call or send them an email today and tell them they can't have your vote until they have put their name on the ObamaCare Repeal Pledge.
