Nebraska Congressman Adrian Smith says something must be done in wake of the collapse of health care CO-OPs under the Affordable Care Act.
The first to collapse was CoOportunity Health which provided coverage to 120-Thousand residents of Nebraska and Iowa. Eleven have collapsed since.
Smith says the CO-OP failures have left half a million Americans without health insurance. . .

Smith says the failures could have been avoided. . .

Smith sponsors a measure that would exempt CO-OP members from paying the health care penalty if they lost coverage through no fault of their own.
