Uffdaaa, Minnesota! Ya got ya one big problem there don’t ‘cha know? The insurer that sold almost 60 percent of all private health plans on Minnesota's Obamacare exchange is quitting. According to KSPT.com, PreferredOne announced it’s leaving the Affordable Care Act’s insurance market because of the cost of doing business. The insurer says that selling plans is, “…not administratively and financially sustainable going forward."

This is just one insurer, in one state, but it could foretell an Obamacare  future as bad as an Ole and Lena joke. Ole's and Lena’s son, Thorstein, comes home and asks. "Papa, do I have da biggest feet in da third grade becoss I'm Norvegian?" "No,"said Ole, "It's because you're NINETEEN." In other words, for those who don’t understand Minnesota humor: when a state that’s bluer than Paul Bunyon’s ox, Babe, falls hook, line, and sinker for a government program, expect bones in the lutefisk.

My name is E. Curtis Johnson. Don’t worry Minnesota, if you like your Ole and Lena jokes, you can still keep your Ole and Lena jokes. Ya!
