Obamacare is Working

As I share this, House Republicans are preparing for their 41st vote to dump Obamacare.

Consumers have saved $1.2 billion because of provisions in ObamaCare that strengthen oversight of insurance premiums, the administration said Thursday.

The healthcare law provided $250 million in grants to help states bolster their review of insurers’ rates. It also gave the federal government the power to review certain premium increases but not the power to stop them from taking effect.

Those rate review provisions have lowered premiums by $1.2 billion since they took effect in 2011, the Health and Human Services Department said in a report Thursday.

We’re living in Obama’s America, comrades.

Brave House Republicans are preparing to hold the federal government and/or the debt ceiling hostage to ensure that no American will be forced to pay less money for better healthcare. We’ve endured the tyranny of lower insurance premiums long enough.
