Obamacare's #RateShock: Same Story, Different Year

Statement

Date: Oct. 24, 2016
Location: Washington, DC

Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) today issued the following statement regarding the administration's admission that there will be double-digit rate hikes for Obamacare plans next year.

"These new numbers are an unwelcome October surprise for millions of Americans. On their own, the numbers are cause for alarm, but behind every premium spike is a name and a face - families, single parents, millennials all struggling to make ends meet. And sadly, these folks have real stories about losing their doctors or getting kicked off their plans. Republicans in Congress have offered solutions to help relieve patients from the health law's expensive bills. We have a Better Way."

The committee recently highlighted the Obamacare reality: rate shock, fewer options, failures, and closures. Read the headlines here.
