plan and now your premiums are going up exponentially. the most amazing part of that it s already happening. don t act like it s happening all of a sudden today. it s going to go up exponentially. the most amazing part about this, he s reintroducing junk plans into the system. you re going to have plans that don t cover maternity leave. you re going to have plans that don t cover the basic what he did today is not doing that. it does. no. this is part of the overall problem with obamacare that congress certainly needs to fix. but what happened today is not any of what you re saying. 116% of premiums going up 116% in arizona was happening before what happened today. do you know what happened when the premiums were going up in arizona? the subsidies were also going up. the fact of the matter is only 3% of people in the market and it s illegal for the government to pay for the subsidies. it s illegal to care for people now? take it up with obamacare. did you read
started this by focusing on donald trump s promises last year. and things he s done over the last two days violate every single premise he made. first of all, he said repeal and replace, there s no replacement. he said he would lower premiums for people, lower health care costs, today president donald trump took action to increase premiums by 20% in 2018, 25% by 2020. not lower premiums, increase premiums. he said everyone would stay covered. a million people will lose health care according to the congressional budget office. and finally, he said he d protect pre-existing conditions. and the policy that steven moore lauds completely undermined pre-existing conditions. so you can get cancer and one of these junk plans, associated health plans, junk plan can drop you. that s what it makes it cheaper. they don t have to cover preexisting conditions. that is what makes it cheaper for that part. if you re concerned about cost,
pre-existing conditions. so you can get cancer and one of these junk plans, associated health plans, junk plan can drop you. that s what it makes it cheaper. they don t have to cover preexisting conditions. that is what makes it cheaper for that part. if you re concerned about cost, then why have a policy that basically says we re going to increase premiums by 20%? what happened here is that the president betrayed the voters. he said that he was going to help. he made all these promises. and out of spite, okay, out of spite for the affordable care act he is victimizing people who have health insurance through the affordable care act. but he did say he was going to repeal and replace. this isn t a repeal or a replace. this is sort of a dismantling. he did say he was going to repeal and replace. and i sure, okay. try doing that. you can t get it through the congress. so you re instead just destroying and destabilizing the health insurance markets. that s not what he promised to
have to be forced into the exchanges to make the risk pool work. population resisted that. and now some he has to clean up the mess and that is exactly what president trump is doing by trying to create these alternatives with choices that would allow some of those to say i did not like it and i have a choice now. these are called junk plans. is that fair. that is a charge from the left that basically decided what they wanted to have and what it must cover. we hear a lot about these plans and being less comprehensive and how can you know that and not know the individuals and needs and what kind of insurance they are looking for. this is a deliberate attempt to sabotage the law. they pretend that some of the
care. practically speaking, with these junk plans, i m 33 years old, many of my peers who are getting off their parents insurance, and find themselves in between, they re going to go out and purchase these junk plans. what that means is that older, sicker, middle class americans are going to have their premiums go up. it s not going to affect lower class and those in poverty, they will have subsidies, it will affect middle class. donald trump and house republicans do not know what they re doing with health care. that s why every other group is opposed to this, and only house republicans and donald trump are the ones cheering. if that is the impact that bakari is saying, won t that hurt president trump and republicans a year, two years from now, in the polls? time will tell. certainly, we have to go back to i hate to revisit this issue again and again. but you have to remember, when obama care was passed, we were promised that if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. if
