ObamaCare is a huge and glorious success, and it's the shining jewel in Barack Obama's legacy. That's what the Democrats have been telling us for several years, and for the most part the media have dutifully parrotted this talking point. But in recent months, it's gotten harder for Obama's media protectors to keep pretending everything is OK. Exchanges are in dire fiscal straits. Insurers are dropping out. Premiums are soaring. Provider networks are narrowing.
The left keep reaching back for what it thinks is the one saving grace of ObamaCare - that more people are "covered" than before. And that's true, but the vast majority of these are just sopping off Medicaid, which is exploding both state and federal budgets, while just about everyone is spending more for the glorious privilege of being "covered," not to mention paying higher taxes to pay for all the subsidies ObamaCare promises.
