If you blame the GOP for rising health-insurance premiums, make sure to quote Trump:

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/6/24/1775003/-Trump-again-mocks-Sen-John-McCain-brags-that-Republicans-gutted-healthcare-reform

Republican Sen. John McCain continues to remain in Arizona, battling brain cancer. National Republican leader and manifestly unfit president Donald Trump continues to mock and belittle him, this time singling McCain out in a Saturday rally in Nevada for his vote against a Republican bill repealing the Affordable Care Act, the healthcare reform law widely known as "Obamacare."

"Nobody talked to him. Nobody needed to, and then he walked in: thumbs-down. It’s alright, because we’ve essentially gutted it anyway," Trump said of ObamaCare at the rally.


Trump said it.
They have essentially gutted the ACA.
By his own words, Republicans own the healthcare-issue.

How could the ACA possibly be responsible for rising premiums if the Republicans have "essentially gutted" it?
