Democrats have decried the plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare and instead have pushed to patch up problems with the malfunctioning model. That’s a hard fall for the ACA, which touted an average of five insurers participating in each state ACA marketplace in 2014. During the campaign season, Republicans seized on the uncertainty and cited rising insurance premiums as the primary reason ObamaCare needs to go. When Humana announced its exit, Trump claimed, “ObamaCare continues to fail.”The comments did little to soothe growing concerns of instability. Some insurers still willing to offer plans under ObamaCare have braced themselves for financial hits by hiking premiums – though how much varies.
