Twenty states attribute ObamaCare premium increases next year to uncertainty caused by the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress, according to a new report released Thursday.

The report from pro-ObamaCare group Protect Our Care analyzed the 28 states where final, state-approved rates are public and found that 20 specifically cited uncertainty at the federal level for at least part of the reason for increases.

Insurers have pleaded with the Trump administration for more certainty over whether ObamaCare's insurer subsidies will be paid but have yet to get it.

The Trump administration has made the payments on a month-to-month basis, but insurers have asked for a long-term commitment. Because that commitment didn't come, many insurers across the U.S. have hiked premiums to account for the uncertainty.

1. It's true. Most republican governors have refused to open exchanges, which could have lowered...

....premiums. It's a stealth way of sabotaging the ACA and get it repealed.

2. GOPers are causing or trying to cause the destruction of health care coverage

by sabotage and cutting of government - Medicare and Medicaid. See what they did to CHIP. GOPers do not give a shit.

3. This effects my family personally. Due to Dotards sabotage, our rates will go up 37% next year.

President tRump has been cheerleading his sabotage for months saying earlier this year, “the best thing we can do…is let Obamacare explode” and “let it be a disaster because we can blame that on the Democrats.”

4. As they should. The insurance companies have warned about this for a year.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. Sabotage. They can't kill people up front in the open

... so they are sneaky, underhanded, devious, crooked, corrupt, and evil.

7. They are committing slow genocide.

Between HELLCARE sabotage, natural disasters, and gun violence they should be called the POD (not GOP), the Party of Death.
