I wonder whether 25% increases in a plan Hillary wants to expand will help Hillary, or will these huge increases in a plan Trump wants to repeal help Donald Trump.
People who receive the increase will be the ones who are MAD as H. They will complain to family, inlaws, co-workers, etc.
That can be translated into votes... but only if Trump and his supporters exploit it creatively.
Modern Healthcare says: policy experts say the projected hikes are unlikely to affect the majority of people who enroll.
If that is true, it means that only 40% will be mad as H. Most of those 40% are already supporting Trump...let’s say 30%. That means that Trump has to reach the 10% who are not yet with him.
By all polls, a 3% shift will decide the winner. This is where the 3% is at. They don’t want to hear about lawsuits for slander. They don’t want to hear about Machado or Khan. They want to vent their anger over increased premiums.
These impacted people are the working class, not the middle class or rich. They are the same Dems who told me in 2014 they would not vote for Dem Nunn in GA because they were pi$$ed over Obamacare.
Type in a “state name obamacare price increase” to get the real price and not an average. Keep in mind this is a price increase on top of last years price increase and the year before.
Then there is the next year and the next year and all with less care.
Pennsylvania obamacare - almost double the cost!

For example, the lowest price silver plan available in Harrisburg region counties will cost $345 per month for a 21-year-old non-smoker. The same plan, sold by Geisinger Health Plan, cost $193 per month in 2016.
Minnesota: 59% premium increase
Arizona: 116%
Oklahoma: 76%
