Mainecat Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 "Trump administration's own actions are triggering double-digit premium increases..." WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration’s own actions are triggering double-digit premium increases on individual health insurance policies purchased by many consumers, a nonpartisan study has found. The analysis released Thursday by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that mixed signals from President Donald Trump have created uncertainty “far outside the norm,” leading insurers to seek higher premium increases for 2018 than would otherwise have been the case. The report comes with Republicans in Congress unable to deliver on their promise to repeal and replace the Obama-era Affordable Care Act. Trump, meanwhile, insists lawmakers try again. The president says “Obamacare” is collapsing, but he’s also threatened to give it a shove by stopping billions of dollars in payments to insurers. Some leading Republicans are considering fallback measures to stabilize markets. Researchers from the Kaiser foundation looked at proposed premiums for a benchmark silver plan across major metropolitan areas in 20 states and Washington, D.C. Overall, they found that 15 of those cities will see increases of 10 percent or more next year. The highest: a 49 percent jump in Wilmington, Delaware. The only decline: a 5 percent reduction in Providence, Rhode Island. About 10 million people who buy policies through HealthCare.gov and state-run markets are potentially affected, as well as another 5 million to 7 million who purchase individual policies on their own. https://apnews.com/cc6b335865e24a4b843dc0e2c4cc6c7a/Study:-Trump-actions-trigger-health-premium-hikes-for-2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonbats arguing for billions of dollars paid by the govt to insurance companies. Some of which is collected in taxes (fines) of people who couldn't afford the insurance in the first place. Insurance companies can simply use this as an excuse. You retards ever think the mere fact that the POTUS and the Sec of HHS's getting too much power was a problem with the bill to begin with and was just one of many complaints by the right? Well you got what you asked for. http://www.weeklystandard.com/obamacare-too-much-power-in-one-persons-hands/article/550390 Obamacare: ‘Too Much Power’ in One Person’s Hands 4:10 PM, FEB 18, 2011 | By JEFFREY H. ANDERSON And that was before Obamacare expanded those powers immeasurably. Leavitt continues, “This conversation came to mind when I saw an analysis of the expanded powers of the secretary of health and human services under last year's health-reform law. It took a 5-foot-by-10-foot chart, as compiled by the Center for Health Transformation, to list the new powers for this office and all the bureaucrats that report to the secretary….” It is not an exaggeration to say that, under Obamacare, Sebelius, an unelected official, could well become the second-most-powerful person in America. This is disturbing on at least three levels. Edited August 10, 2017 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
