On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper,” Senator Al Franken (D-MN) put part of the blame for the Affordable Care Act’s problems with exchanges and costs on “sabotage” by President Donald Trump Trump and Republicans eliminating the risk corridors.

Franken said, “We said that what we need to do is fix the things that are wrong with the ACA, and that is the exchanges. Costs went up too high…and [there’s] a lot of reasons for that, including, sabotage by Trump, and also by Republicans getting rid of something called the risk corridors.”
