Study: Trump’s actions are directly responsible for rising health care premiums

[bigheadfred]

Despite the repeated failure of Republicans in Congress to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, Trump has succeeded in raising health care premiums.

A number of insurers who provide coverage through the Obamacare marketplaces have requested double digit rate increases for the coming year, and the majority cite uncertainty about the actions of the Trump administrations as the reason for the requested increases, according to a new study released Thursday.

Pretty transparent load of political bullsh*t.

What actions?

As a reminder, many of the bad parts of the ACA kept being delayed by executive order as to not hurt the dems in the elections (it didn't work). Those EO's expired.

I would like to see the actual figures on how many people will lose their coverage with every price hike.

As opposed to those who would have "lost" their insurance with a repeal of the bleep Care Act.
