CNN: Obamacare 2017 enrollment hits record, despite Trump's threat to repeal

Even before the election, there were concerns that customers would be deterred by price hikes -- the average premium for the benchmark silver plan soared 22% for 2017 -- and the fact that some insurers pulled out of the exchanges.

However, administration officials sought to portray Obamacare as strong and crucial. Even if Trump and Republican lawmakers repeal the health reform law, they are likely to keep it in place for at least two to three years while they formulate an alternative.

--On Edit--

Democrats put into place a policy that actually helps Americans WITHOUT any Republican support. So, fuck the media meme that Dems don't care about the working class in America.
