State-run insurance exchange enables federal control of Coloradans’ insurance

In the Summit Daily, Linda Gorman of the Independence Institute writes:

ObamaCare is unpopular, unwieldy, expensive, arguably unconstitutional, and a prime target for repeal. It requires the states to do much of the federal government’s dirty work. Right now, the federal government is paying states $1 million to plan health insurance exchanges designed limit the kinds of health insurance policies available to state residents. …

Exchange supporters are fond of asserting that by working together “we” can use exchanges to get health insurance that “we” can afford. In fact, Stanford University’s John F. Cogan estimated that insurance premiums in Massachusetts were 6 percent higher than they would have without the reform that created the exchange. Massachusetts exchange policies are more limited than the policies available in other states. …

ObamaCare is President Obama’s problem. Establishing an exchange would make it Colorado’s problem by imposing Obamacare’s impossible regulations on Coloradans’ health choices.
