A Democrat governor concludes what you and I knew before the "A"CA even became law

It was obvious to you and me all along, but rough experience has brought Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton around:

Gov. Mark Dayton made a stunning admission on Wednesday about rising health insurance costs and the future of MNsure.

“Ultimately I’m not trying to pass the buck here but the reality is the Affordable Care Act is no longer affordable,” Dayton said.

Dayton says changes to the program are critical, as he stepped away from one of his signature political platforms.

“The Affordable Care Act has many good features to it, it has achieved great success in terms of insuring more people, 20 million people across the country and providing access for people who have pre-existing conditions alike, but it’s got some serious blemishes right now and serious deficiencies,” Dayton said.

Premiums for 250,000 Minnesotans, or 5 percent of the population, insured under MNsure will skyrocket by 50 percent or more on some health plans.

“The governor ate some crow today,” Larry Jacobs said.

The political analyst and professor at the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs called the governor’s admission a major concession.

“The governor has come out and said, ‘You’re right, we’ve got to go back to the drawing board,’” Jacobs said.

Republicans have long criticized the plan.

“It is a crisis situation,” House Speaker Kurt Daudt said.

Oh, one more thing: the Most Equal Comrade lied to us.
