Is Colorado HealthOP blaming Republicans for 'Obamacare's structural failings'?

The 80,000-member Colorado HealthOP is being decertified by the state and will reportedly be unable to sell policies on the state’s Obamacare exchange next year:

The Colorado Division of Insurance is effectively shutting down Colorado HealthOP, the low-cost insurance cooperative said Friday.

Colorado HealthOP received a decertification notice from the state, which could result in the nonprofit insurer being unable to sell policies through Connect for Health Colorado, the state health-insurance exchange in 2016.

Colorado HealthOP faced a $10 million shortfall as a result of the feds reimbursing just 12.6 percent of the promised “risk-corridor” payments, officials said.

Republican Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado reminded the provider of its obligations:

Critical for Colorado HealthOP to promptly pay outstanding claims & ensure smooth transition into new coverage. http://t.co/aqGXtuzTc2

Colorado HealthOP obviously didn’t appreciate Gardner’s comments and seems to think a “blame the messenger” approach is the best prescription:

This is unbelievable disingenuous from someone who is part of the Republican-led, engineered dismantling of CO-OPs. https://t.co/HUapBaLm5y

It can’t have anything to do with the lack of sustainability of the law itself!

Oh yes they can!

This Co-Op self destructed because of their own incompetence. They have nobody to blame but themselves. https://t.co/O9pGU27qvh

@COHealthOP You can blame your failure on Cory Gardner, but Coloradoans know better. Obama/Democrats created Obamacare, not Senator Gardner.

Hi, please direct your ire at the flawed model you were built on, not @SenCoryGardner. Thanks! https://t.co/0EvYEoTxBo

Excellent advice that will probably be ignored.
