This is why Trump is President and not Hillary.
And don't forget with help from the Russians, and all the fake ads on social media. They did an excellent job dividing the dems, and suppressing key demographics. From Russia with love.

Essentially health insurers don't want to compete for health providers. Once again, the party of business shows a complete lack in understanding of...business.
He is creating a mess, total chaos is down the road.

Which would've been even bigger increases had Obamacare not been enacted.



Trump could take a dump on your face and you'd claim it was a great move.
Lol

I do believe that Malignant ( my bolded) is the operative terminology. It appears the USA the self-professed "Greatest Country " in the world.. YET it's about a quarter to half Century BEHIND so many other Free World Democracies who have "HC" available to all on so many levels!!

Up here.. I could NOT afford the premiums to get healthcare.. but as our Taxes that actually make sure those who benefit in the upper "Tax range" have to kick in "SURCHARGE" annually since throughout the year got total coverages at low costs! Yes our daily taxes do cost a lot.. BUT compared to $10-20 grand a year in HC premiums is ridiculous..never mind deductibles!! It's called sharing costs amongst the TOTALITY of the Citizenry.. Those less affluent aren't held HOSTAGE like what's going to happen to you all! Free market and allowing Insurance Companies to PROFIT of misery of Insurance policy holders is simply Gouging and taking advantage of those who happen to be born with health issues or have some sort of accident!!

I know of NO OTHER Democratic Country that expects their citizens to cough up 10's of thousands of dollars to get Insurance for anything???? especially something like unknown that catastrophe could be around the corner or never???

Shame on USA for denying their Citizen's adequate coverages for HC!! Insurance Companies should NEVER ever have the POWER to DENY HC services (yet Trumper's suggest.. keep Government out of decisions for my HC??? But taxpayers ( Insurance Bailout)will end up PAYING!! while most paying premiums that the holders have zero knowledge that their HC is going to be denied when they need them!! ... Then what happens?? Yes Taxpayers give deductions to Hospitals.. Patients use expensive accesses (ER's/Hospitalizations) .. YET Trumper's somehow thinks it's wonderful.. SMH

MAGA
His party was not in power, they only had the White House, so I can understand his use of EO in his situation. But Trump party controls everything and he have to go to EO. The republicans didn't like Obama, their job was to make him a one term president, remember that.

Hurrah!
I too am very unhappy about this.
I've been told my insurance won't be available next year. We do not qualify for subsidies, just barely.
As an early retiree, I have only one word "ouch".

Trump, unlike what the OP thinks, knows exactly what he is doing.
Not for us older folks who don't qualify for subsidies.
Only junk insurance will be available.

They lost Congress due to the population hating ACA shoved down their throat in 2010.
