They\u2019re losing too much money. Other big insurers are also leaving, like&nbsp;Humana. They announced they\u2019re getting out of all Obamacare exchanges next year.<\/p>\n<p>So guess who the left is blaming? President Trump.<\/p>\n<p>After Aetna\u2019s announcement, the president tweeted two words: \u201cDeath spiral.\u201d After Humana\u2019s declaration, Trump posted: \u201cObamacare continues to fail.\u201d Those two statements, says the New York Times, nudged Obamacare downward.<\/p>\n<p>And they\u2019re not just blaming Trump. All the opponents of Obamacare have supposedly contributed to the problem by making self-fulfilling prophecies that Obamacare would fail. They kept saying it was going to collapse and now, thanks to them, saying it was going to collapse, it is.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/00-Rush-Morning-Update-1.gif\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-233628\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/00-Rush-Morning-Update-1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"137\"><\/a>Meanwhile, the next big legal hurdle facing Obamacare is subsidies. A federal court has already decided that the law\u2019s \u201ccost-sharing subsidies\u201d are not constitutional. Liberals are demanding that the Trump Administration appeal that ruling. See, the liberals know that Obamacare will be dead in the water if the earlier ruling stands and subsidies go away because nobody can afford it on their own. So they\u2019re already laying the groundwork to blame Trump if that happens.<\/p>\n<p>Look, folks, Obamacare was destined to fail with no outside help. It was built on lies, it was unsustainable from the get-go. It\u2019s been in a death-spiral since the day Obama signed it. &nbsp;They \u2013 and they only \u2013 are to blame. But what\u2019s happening is exactly what they want to happen. This is how you get to single payer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Obamacare was destined to fail with no outside help.
