You'd have to be Rip van Winkle not to know medical insurance premiums rise sharply for 2017. As they have each year ever since full implementation of Obamacare in 2014.
"President Obama calls this a “transition” because insurers aggressively priced too low to get healthy people to sign up."
Oh, rilly?
This must be why Obama's healthcare advisor Ezekiel Emanuel accused insurers back in 2013 of aggressively increasing their prices before Obamacare went fully into effect.
"Ezekiel Emanuel, brother of Rahm Emanuel and President Obama's health care advisor during the Obamacare debate, conceded last month [February, 2013] that medical insurance premiums are rising. But, he suggests, the reason is a sinister insurance industry money grab because, don't forget, ACA will make them lower their medical insurance premiums next year."
So which is it? Did insurers increase their prices before Obamacare as Emanuel claimed? Or reduce them, as Obama claimed?
You just can't believe a thing Obama or his administration says.
Not a damn thing.
