Could Rising Obamacare Premiums Factor into Election?

Hillary Clinton could face a challenge of a different kind in this year's election: the rising premiums under Obamacare.

Those premiums are expected to rise more sharply this year than in previous years, and the Republicans are using that as a campaign issue, The Hill reported.

Presumptive Republican candidate Donald Trump and Senate Republicans agree rising premiums could factor into the election.

While Clinton acknowledges that Obamacare prices are going up, she's defending the program and its benefits.

"I think that the Affordable Care Act is a big step forward for the vast majority of Americans, but we have to look at out-of-pocket costs, co-pays, deductibles, premiums," The Hill quoted Clinton's response to a woman who asked about a $500 increase in her premium.
