MN Dem Governor Announces Affordable Care Act No Longer Affordable in His State

Thanks Obama!

Democratic Governor Mark Dayton, a hardcore leftist, announced on Tuesday Obama’s Affordable Care Act is no longer affordable in his state.

What a surprise.
It’s a failure.

Minnesota’s Democratic governor said Wednesday that the Affordable Care Act is “no longer affordable,” a stinging critique from a state leader who strongly embraced the law just a few years ago.

Gov. Mark Dayton made the comments while addressing questions about Minnesota’s fragile health insurance market, where individual plans are facing double-digit increases after all insurers threatened to exit the market entirely in 2017.

They follow cost concerns and criticism nationwide, including President Bill Clinton saying last week that the law was “the craziest thing in the world” before he backtracked.

“The reality is the Affordable Care Act is no longer affordable for increasing numbers of people,” Dayton said, calling on Congress to fix the law to address rising costs and market stability.

The Democrat-driven criticism has emboldened Republicans in Minnesota and nationwide to try to scrap President Barack Obama’s 2009 law. Clinton faced backlash for his comments during a Michigan rally for his wife last week, and he later clarified his support for the law and called for fixes to address gaps in coverage.
