17. But that's not quite true.

The politicians will be called out on this on tv and look foolish.

The serious individual market problems started in 2015, and were definitely in place at the beg. of 2016. It's gotten worse since the election, but that's not when it started.

United Healthcare announced in 1st half of 2016 it was withdrawing entirely from the ACA individual market, after it had already pulled out of certain states. Co-ops did horribly in 2015 so that almost half of them were ordered closed down by the 1st half of 2016. And so on.

I personally was unable to find a dr. to take my policy in the 1st half of 2016, despite calling over 20 providers on the "network provider list." I had trouble finding one, also, in 2014 and 2015, and did not go to the dr., but I didn't try THAT hard. But in 2016, I spent hours calling around, trying to find any provider.

So there were serious problems before. Those problems have gotten worse, for sure. But to deny there were problems before won't pass knowledgeable pundits on tv who know the history.
