9 July 2018 - The Trump administration's abrupt suspension of billions of dollars in payments to ObamaCare insurers has prompted new warnings of rising premiums as health companies scramble to adjust.
Insurers are pressing the administration to resolve the issue and resume the payments, arguing that premiums will rise for ObamaCare enrollees if funding is cut off.
Democrats, meanwhile, are seizing on the unexpected action by characterising it as another example of the administration sabotaging ObamaCare, a key Democratic message heading into the November midterm elections.
