:lol:  Insurance companies don't set premiums on "mixed signals from the President."   They set them by actuarial research.  

Doesn't matter, rates are going up just like they always do. People are stupid and don't really know how this shit works. Just like they don't really know how our govt works and what actual freedom is.

"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.

apparently you think so because you just posted how insurance companies set their premiums. research. 

I think any for profit Insurance company has incentive to eliminate fraud.  When the govt controls what they can and cannot make (they have to submit increases for approval) can lead to creative actuarial calculations.  In any case none of this addresses the real factor here of cost of care.

is trump doing things to damage obamacare? yes or no please.

NO Obama care was built to fail from day 1 . they banked on the D running the show till then for the transition to full government control when it all went to unaffordable shit . how did you think a bill written by a leader of the weather underground was going to work out ? only reason Insurace corps jumped in was to fill there pockets as long as they could , as soon as the getting gets tight they pull out . and that is what you have been witnessing state after state for 2 years now. you fucking government control losers own all this shit no matter how bad you want to blame some one else.

oh well the old lib stand by but they meant well. fuck all of you ACA supporters you are getting exactly what  was planed . why do you think full implementation was held off  until 2 years after the 2nd Obama election . all part of the plan .

You know they donate a lot of the proceeds to the poor right? The church by me also has a food bank to help local folks in trouble. They do a lot for the community.
