Obamacare Dealt yet Another Blow as Premiums Rise

“Millions of Americans who depend on Obamacare for their health insurance face another double-digit price increase next year, adding to the financial toll that has already driven millions of others to drop coverage since last year,” the New York Times reports.

“The price increases largely reflect higher medical costs across the country. But they also are a signal of the latest blow to Obamacare under the Trump administration, which has overseen the expiration of tax credits that helped Americans pay for coverage and has erected new barriers to enrollment in an effort to root out what it describes as widespread fraud.”

“The average price of health insurance in the Obamacare marketplaces will rise by 13 percent next year.”
