Ultimately it was Obama who opened up this pandora's box. It was basically an open call to insurance companies to charge whatever the hell they wanted for health insurance. Premiums have skyrocketed under ObamaCare, double what they were in many cases. Now the lower class want to keep what they believe is entitled to them (it's not), while the rich want to take as much of the tax burden off themselves as possible. Where does that leave the middle class? Stuck paying for socialized health care because the rich don't want to and they hold the power to sway politicians. 

Premiums have skyrocketed under ObamaCare:

Premiums have been increasing at a rapid rate for a very long time.  In fact, premiums were actually growing at a slower rate under Obamacare than previously.  ObamaCare is a nice scapegoat, but it ignores the history of increasing prices before it.

QTF.

The fact that these idiots actually expect this draconian health care plan not to jack up their premiums EVEN MORE is either hilarious or flat out horriying. The CBO flat out stated that the vast majority of the 22 mil expected to lose their health insurance will NOT be doing so because they'll no longer have to pay for their coverage, but because of the extreme cuts to Medicaid which Trump REPEATEDLY promised he wouldn't touch BTW. Obama's lies about HIS health care plan are rather tame in comparison.
