But to make up for the lost federal funding, health insurers will have to raise premiums substantially, potentially putting coverage out of reach for many consumers.....just like premium increases under the Affordable Health Care Act. Ironic to use the word affordable in something that eventually became not affordable.  

Since the act started, I've seen other's premiums increase 15 to more than 25 percent each year. Is that what Obama meant as "minimal" increases? Some of those same people have got out of traditional insurance and are using those community-member plans where you send in X amount each month and will get Y in return when you can document you need help paying for a health-care service. So far, so good for them. 

How Trump responds will be interesting. Obama never took any accountability for the law he wanted to define his presidency. He even used Kathleen Sebelius as the proverbial human shield when the law stumbled out of the blocks.
