Well. It's not like folks weren't warned that this was going to occur if MAGA's 'Project 2025' governing manifesto took root in Drumpf's administration, which unfortunately for all of us it has.

"Throughout the 2020s, MNsure insurers’ rates inched up yearly by single-digit percentage points. But the 2026 rate hikes Commerce approved average out to a startling 21.5% increase."
"“The rate increases are really alarming and will have a significant impact on Minnesotans,” Arnold said at the Senate hearing. “These hikes will push real people to make really hard choices like paying for health insurance, rent or a car payment.”"
Destroying the ACA, with no backup plan to cover the 20+ million who rely on it for affordable healthcare coverage is going to affect EVERYONE'S premiums, meaning even more money will be squeezed out of consumer's bank accounts just as DonOld's inflation is squeezing more money out out of us in grocery prices and prices of a lot of other products. And all just so a handful of billionaires can have even bigger tax cuts than the ones Dirty Don the Con and his eunuchs in the Republican party gave them in the dirty old mobster's first execrable term in office.
But this is the kind of wanton cruelty toward their own citizenry that I have come to expect from a vindictive convicted felon and rapist and the uncaring Republicans and other assholes who enable and support him.
