On the recordFebruary 16, 2017
We have seen more troubling signs this week that things continue to get worse under the healthcare law. Humana announced they are dropping out of the ObamaCare marketplace next year. The CEO of Aetna said that ObamaCare is in a ``death spiral.'' Families in Michigan and across the country are left with fewer choices and soaring costs. Mari, from Jackson, in my district, is one of them. Her premiums nearly quadrupled last year under ObamaCare; and this year, her premiums went up so high, she could not afford to pay them. So she and her husband, who is self-employed, dropped the plan and now are going without any health insurance at all. The status quo is simply unsustainable, and we are working to provide relief to families who are struggling. This will be an orderly, step- by-step process as we transition to patient-centered solutions that lower costs, increase choices, maintain preexisting conditions coverage, and meet the needs of all Americans. That is what Mari and every single American deserves. ____________________
