You know what makes premiums go up? Insurance companies that put profit over people.
But I guess a new plan that has fewer people getting insurance, loss of jobs AND higher health care cost will be much better because....uh, Obama?
A lot of people who gained coverage under the ACA were due to the expansion of medicaid. Hospitals and Doctors take a loss when treating medicaid patients, and those losses get passed on to those who can pay. So costs go up. Crazy, I know.
