Topic: Healthcare Co Ops

More than half of the non-profit healthcare co-ops established under the Affordable Care Act have failed, costing taxpayers billions in federal loans. The hosts argue that the current system is a "reverse Ponzi scheme" and predict that the U.S. will inevitably move toward a single-payer system, a position supported by both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump.

The failure of healthcare co-ops established under the Affordable Care Act is discussed, with a focus on the Colorado co-op's closure. A clip features a woman expressing anger at President Obama for "abandoning" the co-op program. The hosts suggest that the administration prioritized large insurance companies over the public options, leading to the collapse of more than half of the nationwide co-ops.
