Blaming Trump for rising insurance premiums defies logic
Red States:
...It is the NY Times so willful blindness as to the faults of failed liberalism should be a given. Obamacare has harmed millions of innocent Americans and it will continue to do so until it is repealed.
Note how the analysis just takes ObamaCare as a given. Of course, the reason premiums started rising precipitously to begin with was ObamaCare. (Our system of third-party payment started the ball rolling, of course. ObamaCare care just made it worse.) Once the government told people that they could hold off on buying health insurance until they were sick, the concept of insurance was dead. Now, keeping the companies afloat depends on: 1) trying to force people to buy coverage they don’t want, and 2) bailouts.
Blaming Trump for all this requires some mighty convenient amnesia as to how we got here to begin with. It’s like watching Obama slice someone in the chest with a knife and walk away whistling, and watching the New York Times blame Trump for the bleeding, because they don’t like the size of the Band-Aid.
...
Expecting the Left to be logical simply defies logic.
