Number of uninsured expected to rise due to higher premiums!
Next year, average benchmark premiums for Obamacare plans are expected to rise 15 percent more than they did this year, according to projections from the Congressional Budget Office.
"In 2018, the agencies project, the average benchmark premium will be roughly 15 percent higher than it was in 2017, largely because of short-term market uncertainty—in particular, insurers' uncertainty about whether federal funding for certain subsidies that are currently available will continue to be provided," the budget office explains.
Additionally, premiums for benchmark plans are expected to rise an average of 5 percent each year from 2017 through 2027.

Gee thanks Obummer!
GOP reluctance to deal with the Obamacare monstrosity is part of the reason I chose to sit out the congressional portion of the 2016 election.
Congress does little of what it is supposed to do, and far too much of what it has no business doing.
I no longer take part in the charade, the Potemkin Village of self-government.
People in my town pay more than this already for bronze plans. It is going up another 30% or so next year.
Likely in your town.
I pulled the rates directly from healthcare.gov while they were open to the public last fall. Coverage for a 59 year old was $9.8K for cheapest bronze and $12.4K for the cheapest silver. The state insurance commission authorized big increases for next year. Obviously if it would much cheaper for someone that get subsidies.
At this point all thanks go to cuck Paul Ryan and homo McConnell.
15%.....double it.
Well you the people elect an ignorant Kenyan to run the nation not once but twice you reap what you sow
