Obamacare has been nothing short of a disaster, yet rather than lay the blame where blame is due, why not point the finger at Republicans? 

During a segment with Democratic Senator Michael Bennett on Wednesday, MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell did just that and accused the GOP of "trying to sabotage" the Affordable Care Act. 

"The other issue here is what’s happening to ObamaCare and whether the White House is trying to sabotage ObamaCare by missing deadlines where insurance companies have to decide whether to re-up," she said. Newsbusters provides the transcript and video: 

ANDREA MITCHELL: The other issue here is what’s happening to ObamaCare and whether the White House is trying to sabotage ObamaCare by missing deadlines where insurance companies have to decide whether to re-up. What are you hearing around the country?

SEN. MICHAEL BENNETT [D-CO]: It’s very clear that that’s what’s happening. This is not a strategy that started with this president. The Republicans in Congress defunded what were called the risk corridors which allowed insurance companies to lay off their risk on each other depending on what happened in the actual markets. And that resulted in a nonprofit co-op in Colorado going bankrupt. That happened all over the country. And then what happened was the Republicans said, “See, ObamaCare has failed.” But it was the critics of ObamaCare that had screwed it up. And that’s what’s happening now with the insurance markets as well. You're hearing the insurers say that with this level of uncertainty about what we’re going to be doing going forward, that they can’t participate in these markets.

It's unfortunate that the media refuse to report accurately and fairly about the detrimental impact Obamacare has had on the nation.  Everyday Americans truly are suffering because of it, but as usual their concerns don't matter. What matters is vilifying Republicans at every turn.
