One of the big reasons that premiums are going up is that younger, healthier people may drop coverage if it’s too pricey.

From Factcheck.org Dec. 9, 2024. Fact checking the President-Elect's "Meet the Press" interview with Kristen Welker which aired Dec. 8, 2024. On "Obamacare"

"Trump distorted the facts in talking about his actions during his first term regarding the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare. “I am the one that saved Obamacare, I will say,” Trump claimed. “And I did the right thing. I could’ve done the more political thing and killed it. And all I had to do is starve it to death.” Trump tried, but failed, to repeal and replace the ACA when he was president, and his administration backed a lawsuit that would have nullified the entire law, as Welker pointed out.

Trump responded that the lawsuit could have killed the ACA “from a legal standpoint. But from a physical standpoint, I made it work.” It’s unclear what Trump means by “made it work,” but if the goal of the law was to get more Americans enrolled in health insurance, Trump’s administration didn’t do that. Under his tenure, the number of people without health insurance went up by 3 million, and the percentage of the uninsured went up by about a half a percentage point.

His administration slashed advertising and outreach aimed at enrolling people in ACA plans, and he pushed the expansion of cheaper short-term health plans that wouldn’t have to abide by the ACA’s prohibitions against denying or pricing coverage based on health status. In the NBC News interview, Trump tried to wrongly take credit for the ACA insuring 20 million people, a figure Welker cited. In this year’s open enrollment period, 21.4 million people signed up for an ACA marketplace plan or were automatically reenrolled. That’s up from the 11.4 million who were enrolled in 2020, Trump’s last year in office.

As he did during his debate with Harris, Trump said he had “concepts of a plan that would be better” than the ACA and “if we find something better, I would love to do it.”"
