Even the liberal media is now starting to admit that ObamaCare is failing — and that Marco's efforts are preventing President Obama from bailing it out.

Marco saw the possibility of a corporate welfare bailout for insurance companies before other Republicans did, and took action:

A little-noticed health care provision that Senator Marco Rubio of Florida slipped into a giant spending law last year has tangled up the Obama administration, sent tremors through health insurance markets and rattled confidence in the durability of President Obama's signature health law. . . .

Mr. Rubio's efforts against the so-called risk corridor provision of the health law has hardly risen to the forefront of the race for the Republican presidential nomination, but his plan limiting how much the government can spend to protect insurance companies against financial losses has shown the effectiveness of quiet legislative sabotage.

Conservatives are taking note that Marco gets results on ObamaCare:

Only one candidate has actually done significant damage to Obamacare. #TeamMarco https://t.co/7rln0Ihhm2

Mr. Rubio's point is bumper-sticker ready. The payments are "a taxpayer-funded bailout for insurance companies." https://t.co/aHne559t3H

Marco's efforts saved taxpayers $2.5 billion, and now he's leading the fight to make sure that the bailout is gone for good.
