Obamacare premium costs in Maryland set to jump as state approves rates - Baltimore Sun

“The losses incurred by carriers since the beginning of the Affordable Care Act are unsustainable, and premium increases that are the result of that are also unsustainable,” he said. “So it’s critical that folks in D.C. put aside their political differences and fix this thing. Otherwise, it will implode.”

Nice job democrats.

Time to get for-profit insurance middlemen out of healthcare. Despite Obamacare's attempt, you can't make a profit off sick people.

So you're saying that if Congress had repealed Obamacare, the situation in Maryland would be better? How so?

Obamacare is a disaster, but the CBO says Trumpcare would be even worse in terms of cost.
The Trumpcare bills were so bad Trump's own party voted it down multiple times.

Americans have just two choices when it comes to choosing our leaders: bad and worse.

Nothing to see here. Hope & Change !!

(put a community organizer in charge of the budget & watch the Federal Debt go from 9 Trillion to 19 Trillion and then watch him put an insurance (ponzi scheme) program in place that doesn't insure the middle class, has the middle class (forced) premium go up from $800 per month to $1500 per month, & creates a freaking program that even his own minions (in MD) say is unsustainable.)

& this was supposed to be his damn legacy. Barry, where did the money go ? Who got it all ?

The only answer is repeal.

A lot of idiots don't understand that.

Millions who buy health insurance brace for sharp increases - ABC News

Quote:
Millions of people who buy individual health insurance policies and get no financial help from the Affordable Care Act are bracing for another year of double-digit premium increases, and their frustration is boiling over.

Some are expecting premiums for 2018 to rival a mortgage payment.

What they pay is tied to the price of coverage on the health insurance markets created by the Obama-era law, but these consumers get no protection from the law's tax credits, which cushion against rising premiums. Instead they pay full freight and bear the brunt of market problems such as high costs and diminished competition.

Umm, it is up to the Repubs to Fix it and sustain it or replace it with something better, maybe you should look up who won the election last November and who is running the country and has been for the entire year. So complain all you want but the ball is in Your Court and as such the blame if it fails will go straight to the Repeal and Replace Party. Enjoy

You do realize that Obama was a state Senator and then US Senator before he was President, don't you?
