Trump is driving up the cost of health care for millions of families

By Oliver Willis - October 29, 2018

A new analysis proves that Trump's destructive actions caused health care costs to jump for millions of families in America.

Health insurance costs are increasing for millions of Americans as a direct result of Trump’s actions to sabotage the health care system.

A new analysis from the respected Kaiser Family Foundation revealed that silver-level plans sold in Obamacare marketplaces have increased in cost an average of 16 percent.

This increase can be traced directly to Trump getting rid of cost-sharing payments the government offered, along with removing the individual mandate and allowing looser regulations.

The foundation notes that without Trump’s meddling, the average plan in 2019 would cost $427 per month, but will now be $495 a month.
