Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, M.D. issued the
following statement regarding compelling data released today by the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in two new reports related to
Obamacare – the Effectuated Enrollment report for the most recent
enrollment period and the Health Insurance Exchanges Trends report. The reports show a decline in the number of Americans who have
actually purchased coverage on the exchanges, with cost being a primary
concern.
“Not surprisingly, as costs continue to go up, fewer Americans
can afford to pay more and get less for healthcare. Many individuals and
families across the country are tired of having their healthcare options
dictated to them by Washington – particularly when those limited options are
unaffordable. That’s why every day we are working on behalf of President Trump
on solutions that will show a little humility from the federal government,
equip states to serve their unique and diverse populations, and put healthcare
decisions in the hands of patients, families, and their doctors.”
