Donald Trump and Republicans are raising health insurance premiums for millions of Americans, forcing them to choose between keeping a roof over their heads, putting food on the table, and securing life-saving coverage. Across the country, hard-working families are furious that the Trump-GOP budget bill sacrificed their health to create tax breaks for billionaires.
Insurance companies have already indicated that, because of the GOP budget bill, they plan to raise premiums for 24 million Americans by an average of 15 percent. At the same time, Republicans eliminated key tax credits that helped over 20 million Americans afford coverage. Combined, these changes mean millions will see their premiums nearly double this fall.
Instead of owning their vote to gut health care, Donald Trump and Republicans are trying to conceal the true impact of their big, ugly bill on hardworking families until after the midterms. Protect Our Care’s Premium Disaster Watch exposes how the Trump-GOP bill is driving up health care premiums for millions of families nationwide, putting affordable coverage further out of reach.
