Americans for Prosperity Comments on Massive ObamaCare Rate Increases for 2017

MANCHESTER – Americans for Prosperity – New Hampshire (AFP-NH) offered the following comments in response to news that ObamaCare rates for 2017 will include massive hikes.

“Earlier this year, AFP-NH raised the alarm on this critical issue when the first rate proposals of up to 60% went public,” said Greg Moore, AFP-NH State Director.  “These massive price increases in ObamaCare are entirely predictable and something that anyone who understands the insurance marketplace could see coming a mile away.  Every myth by ObamaCare supporters, from the fallacy that Medicaid expansion would limit rate hikes to the notion that people would buy a product they don’t want, has fallen by the wayside.  The only surprise is that some people are surprised by the news of the actual rates.”

Moore said it is critical to hold public officials accountable for supporting ObamaCare and opposing making changes to the flawed health care model.

“The real tragedy is that real people are being hurt by these massive rate hikes, meaning money is coming out of their pockets to pay for a collapsing social engineering scheme like ObamaCare,” added Moore.  “Given the reality that’s hitting our citizens, anyone who continues to offer full support to this disaster of a health care plan must be held accountable.  New Hampshire residents deserve solutions that make health care more affordable, not the rhetoric that we’ve gotten from ObamaCare fans.”
