Double-Digit Premium Hikes to Follow Republican Healthcare Effort
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, a new study finds the Republican effort to overturn Obamacare
will likely lead to double-digit insurance premium hikes for millions of
Americans next year. Thursday's report by Kaiser Family Foundation also
predicts that uncertainty over the fate of the Affordable Care Act will
lead insurers to offer fewer products, with many more likely to exit the
health insurance exchanges altogether. After his efforts on healthcare
failed last month, President Trump tweeted, "let Obama Care implode,
then deal."
