They\u2019ve decided to pull out of the Obamacare exchange in Nevada completely.<\/p>\n<p>Previously they said it would offer healthcare plans in three urban Nevada counties. But now, instead of a partial withdrawal, they are all the way outta there.<\/p>\n<p>Now, after the pullout announcement, Nevada\u2019s insurance commissioner issued a happy talk statement. Her name is Barbara Richardson and she said that&nbsp;she was \u201coptimistic that there will be coverage for consumers\u201d on the Obamacare exchange.<\/p>\n<p>Read between her lines. She\u2019s \u201coptimistic.\u201d In other words, she\u2019s not sure. And if she isn\u2019t sure, then you people in Nevada who were depending on Obamacare, better make other plans.<\/p>\n<p>But why the sudden change of heart at Anthem? What happened to make the company go for the complete pullout? The company blames political uncertainty surrounding Obamacare\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-241581\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/00-Rush-Morning-Update-2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"137\">In other words, it\u2019s imploding.<\/p>\n<p>Folks, Anthem is just the latest outfit to pull out of the exchanges. But they\u2019re not the last. In the next few months, as we enter the enrollment period, you\u2019ll see massive premium increases and you\u2019ll likely see more companies pull the plug.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is businesses hate uncertainty and health insurance companies will do everything possible to make sure they don\u2019t get stuck holding the losing hand. The implosion that Trump talked about, if Obamacare wasn\u2019t repealed, is on the way. The dirty little secret is that\u2019s the design. That\u2019s the intention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Folks, Anthem is just the latest outfit to pull out of the exchanges. But they&#039;re not the last.
