Its happening: Health care costs soar in Pennsylvania after Trump cuts Obamacare paymentsTrump very proudly took credit for the state of the health care system and declared Obamacare no more. Immediately afterward, Pennsylvania announced premiums will jump by 30.6 percent.
By Matthew Chapman OCTOBER 16, 2017
Donald Trump refused to let the GOPs failures to repeal Obamacare stand in his way.
This month, he struck back by signing executive orders ending the birth control mandate, pushing people to buy association and short-term plans without consumer protections, and most crucially terminating cost sharing reduction subsidies to insurers.
On Monday, Trump boasted in bizarre fashion to reporters that, through executive fiat, he had gotten rid of the health law once and for all.
Obamacare is finished. Its dead. Its gone, he rambled. You shouldnt even mention it. Its gone. There is no such thing as Obamacare any more.
Trump should be careful what he wishes for, because just hours after his proclamation, the first effects of his sabotage became clear in Pennsylvania.

I have an R friend who bought her insurance through the marketplace. She's had cancer, is between 56-60 years old, living in TX. I bet she thought she was going to get a better deal with Trumpcare.
