Both Cigna and CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield cited policies advocated by the Trump administration, including the repeal of ObamaCare's individual mandate, as part of its justifications for the increases.

Cigna is proposing an average premium increase of 15 percent for its 103,264 customers in Virginia, with a range of increases from 6.4 percent to 40 percent.

CareFirst is proposing a 64 percent increase for its approximately 4,500 customers in the commonwealth, citing an increase in sicker people entering the marketplace.

This was the trend of Obamacare since its inception. It could've never continued without consistent large increases in premiums.

No shit. The exchanges were doomed to begin with. The risk pools for much too small and initial reinsurance funding expired in 2018 by the original bill. For Trump to continue funding them would be flushing money in the toilet.

And yet, Trump policies are given credit here.


So when a news source gives Trump's policies credit for the bonuses and raises companies have been giving out, it's not true.

But when a news source gives Trump's policies credit for the Obamacare trend continuing yet again, it's true?

No those were true but the actual amount of money that went into those bonuses were grossly overestimated.
