Obamacare Premiums Set To Soar 75% For Average Person

It’s mostly thanks to Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans.

By NewsHound Ellen — July 19, 2025

Ready or not, you’re about to pay a lot more for your Obamacare health insurance unless Congress acts. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!

Rep. Mark Pocan touched on the matter earlier this week when he outlined some of the many, many ways we’re paying more so billionaires can pay less taxes.

On Friday, the nonpartisan health policy analysts at KFF provided some hard data on the rise in Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) premiums. It’s not a pretty picture… unless you’re a billionaire.

Many 2 weeks later, he finally completed his goal of gutting the ACA to spite Obama.

So many for-profit intermediaries between the patient and doctor keep prices sky high.

I just read an article from McKinsey Consulting (insultants) about how corporations are looking for new innovations (invented by McKinsey insultants) to reduce soaring benefits costs.

Imagine if they all just got behind Universal healthcare and didn't have to deal with it at all? Wins for everyone.

Follow the money. If the money behind MAGA was invested in big pharm, medical tech and hospital corporations then taxpayer money would be wide open for medical care.

Instead insurers are about to rake in even more.
