Another ObamaCare Co-Op Bites The Dust, As Taxpayer Costs Mount

On Wednesday, the Nevada Health Co-Op announced that it will go out of business at the end of the year. This is the third out of the 23 ObamaCare-created nonprofit health plans to fail, but it isn't likely to be the last.

The costly experiment has largely been a failure.
