So if you want to blame Rubio for a clause saying the risk corridors had to be cost neutral- then you'll need to include the people who insisted they would be, and then began playing a shell game to pay insurers billions so the ACA could appear to succeed- for a little while.
Follow the money- Have you looked at healthcare stocks in the last 5 years - UNH $55 to $222 AET $48 to $178 HUM $74 to 245.
