I am NOT nor ever will be a Rubio supporter; however, Rubio & Congress shut down a taxpayer funded bailout of the insurance companies in 2015 & again for 2016. Here is one link that explains it (I’d suggest reading the whole thing, not just the excerpt) ..... since the insurance companies are only getting 12.6%, they are not happy & many will not continue to offer Obamacare plans.

Did Rubio deal a mortal blow to ObamaCare?
http://hotair.com/archives/2015/11/25/did-rubio-deal-a-mortal-blow-to-obamacare/

Excerpt: Two years ago, Marco Rubio won a fight during the budget battles to include a requirement for HHS to maintain budget neutrality in its risk-corridor programs. Rubio had pushed back against this program for months, claiming — as it happens, accurately — that it was a back-door bailout of the insurance companies that had cooperated in the effort to pass ObamaCare. Instead of allowing HHS to dip into general funds for risk-corridor payments, Rubio’s rider restricted those payouts to funds collected from taxes on insurers.

The move forced HHS to cut expected risk corridor payments to pennies on the dollar, and prompted the closure of more than half of the co-ops launched by HHS to provide supposedly low-cost coverage. Now that United Healthcare has signaled that it may cut its losses and get out of the ObamaCaure market, The Hill credits Rubio with starting the death spiral many predicted when Democrats first passed ObamaCare in March 2010

Like I said obummer is taking monies not appropriated to bail out the insurance comps illegally, it is being reported today. So alot of good Rubios restriction is doing now.
So again 2 senators running for prez are just letting obummer get away with his criminality again!
But I guess I’ll just wait forever to hear what Rubio has to say about this!
