Congressman Adrian Smith says the collapse of CoOportunity Health, leaving 120-Thousand Nebraska and Iowa residents without health coverage, exposes problems with the Affordable Care Act.
CoOportunity Health went under in late 2014. . .

Smith tells of a resident from western Nebraska who saw her plan canceled under the Affordable Care Act, then lost coverage with the collapse of CoOportunity Health . .

An administration official admitted to a Senate committee that more should have been done to keep 12 of the 23 health insurance co-operatives from failing.
