Obamacare, unsustainable

Health Republic Insurance of New Jersey is folding after the state’s insurance commissioner put the Obamacare co-op in “rehabilitation” due to its hazardous financial condition.
...

The closing will force 35,000 customers served by the New Jersey co-op to find a new plan in 2017.
Unfixable in an election year.   

These New Jersey customers are sicker, which is why it failed.  Who in New Jersey is going to adversely select them without a very hefty premium hike?
