Now that he’s finished running for president, Bernie Sanders can go back to being his usual socialist nutball-y self:
Threats like @Aetna's to pull out of health exchanges are exactly why we need to move toward a single-payer system.https://t.co/Z6WJ4KE9X6

More from the Wall Street Journal:
This week, Aetna Inc. said it will withdraw from 11 of the 15 states where it currently offers plans, the latest major national insurer to sharply pull back its participation.
…
“It is disappointing that Aetna has joined other large for-profit health insurance companies in pulling out of the insurance marketplace,” he said in a statement. “Despite the Affordable Care Act bringing them millions more paying customers than ever before, these companies are more concerned with making huge profits then ensuring access to health care for all Americans.”
He added: “The provision of health care cannot continue to be dependent upon the whims and market projections of large private insurance companies whose only goal is to make as much profit as possible.”
Or maybe — just maybe — those “large private insurance companies” want to stay in business. And maybe — just maybe — companies like Aetna are pulling out of the marketplace because Obamacare was doomed to fail.

– If not profitable they will eventually be out of business. The government is not an insurance provider & shouldn't be

Maybe — just maybe — Dems wanted Obamacare to fail all along.

It doesn't appear to be a "threat". And suddenly those who warned of Single Payer are proven correct. https://t.co/hLRtrMNHT2

Threat, Bernie? It was predictable. You know that. ACA a huge damned mess… and you voted for it.
