      Yes, they can say that only a minimal increase is happening until actual employers cite their increase. Get rid of Obamacare once and for all.

      While I’ve said numerous times Obamacare is a huge failure, I’d argue the majority of that increase is because Trump has failed to clearly communicate if he will continue to provide insurer subsidies.

      For example: if a carrier gets a 40% subsidy from the government in 2017 (just throwing out #s to prove a point) and they don’t think they’re going to get it in 2018, OF COURSE the customer will get hit with a 40% increase!

        Obama failed to clearly communicate his agenda and chose to lie about it. That is why the carriers and exchanges have been going belly up. Trump had nothing to do with what has been going on for 7 long years.
