Portman: Ohio's Middle-Class Deserves Relief, Not More ObamaCare Cost Increases
Statement
Issues: Health Insurance
U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) issued the following statement after the Ohio Department of Insurance released the final premium cost increases for health insurance plans on the federal exchange in Ohio for 2017:
"Ohioans need real health care reform, not higher costs with fewer choices. These final rates represent a 91 percent increase in health insurance premiums since the president's health law went into effect, and that is unacceptable. After eight years of stagnating wages, slow economic growth, and a rising cost of living, Ohio's middle-class deserves relief, not a health care system they can't afford."
