Premium Disaster Watch tracks the skyrocketing prices of health care premiums caused by Trump and Republicans’ health care attacks in their tax scam bill.
Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans passed the largest health care cuts in history, slashing Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, in order to fund tax breaks for the wealthy and big corporations. Now millions of hard-working families are footing the bill.
Because of the GOP policies, insurance companies have already indicated they plan to raise premiums for 24 million Americans by an average of 15 percent. At the same time, Republicans are eliminating key tax credits for middle-class families, which will force over 20 million of these Americans to pay an average of 75 percent more for their coverage. As a result of this health care disaster that Trump and Republicans have created, millions of families will see their premiums nearly double this fall. Countless hardworking families will lose life-saving coverage and go without care, and for millions more, it will make the already-rising cost of living even harder to shoulder.
Trump and Republicans promised lower costs, but their actions speak louder than words. Rather than lowering health care costs, Trump and Republicans chose to protect the interests of billionaires and big corporations at the expense of everyday Americans. With Premium Disaster Watch, we are making sure Americans know exactly who’s responsible for driving up premiums, slashing coverage, and putting care out of reach for millions.
