What did Republicans do to make the premiums go higher?

First it was refusing to fund the healthcare co-ops and more recently:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...06849a-a275-11e5-b53d-972e2751f433_story.html

So what can be done to fix this?

The co-ops are closed down, so nothing can really be done here.

The GOP will probably not refund the corridor, and the market adjustment has already happened. If it could be funded that will help but it won't.

So practice, not much.

So are you saying when it's all said and done, Obamacare will implode and Republicans will be like, 'Look we told you so.'

The market has already adjusted to the GOP pass moves. The ACA plans are more expensive that they would otherwise be but that is about it.

If the GOP keeps picking away at it (to be honest I don't know what their next move is) then they can send it into a death spiral, it is not in one yet.

However, the ACA needs to be more funded and amended in some areas. Mainly it needs a public option

I was in the doctor's office for an annual check up and some blood works. On top, right above the receptionist desk was a big sign that said 'Medicare (or was it medicaid) premiums are 180 dollars'

Not sure how much the premium was before... But it must be a big deal cuz I've never seen a sign like that at the doctor's.

Nah, still **** the Freedom Caucus, Obeezy could have done some great things if weren't for them.

But I will agree it is like hilarious watching the GOP's attack dog turn on them.

It is like the douche bag that buys a pit bull to scare his neighbor, then the pit bull ends up attacking him.

On one hand you still hate the dog, on the other hand seeing your neighbor being wheeled into an ambulance got you feeling like.....

That applies to most of the execustive branch.

This one's gold:

Trump relied too long on assurances from Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and HHS Secretary Tom Price that they had the process in hand..

In other words, "Call me when you all figure this out. I'll be golfing"

We might as well have elected an arm with a stamp attached to it.
