Find your tag and get over eleven thousand total value on this silverado all star. Donald trump says repealing and reason people should vote for him in two weeks. At a rally the republican nominee blasted a report that coverage costs could increase more than 11 Million People. Its just been announced that americans are going to experience another massive double digit hike. Now, they said 25 . Forget that. Youll take 25 . Its going be 60, 70, 80, 90 . Well joining us now to help break down what this could mean for people who have coverage is nbcs tom costello. What are the numbers, the percentage of increases that are going up . He said a whole bunch of them. Whats leading to that. Reporter you got an hour . Nothing is as simple as anybody here would lead to you believe. I spent years covering obamacare. Here are a few bullet points four tonight. Yes, in fact, a nationwide premiums go up 22 to 25 . Hes right in arizona 116 . They have been below the retail of increase for the last few years. By the way in indiana its dropping 3 . So why are we seeing on average 20, 25 . Because the cost of insuring people has gone up. Weve seen that in our own employer based insurance. But also obamacare has not been as successful getting younger healthier people to join into obamacare and as a result you population that requires more medical care. Because we dont have as many young people, healthier people who dont need care paying into the system there isnt enough money right now to pay for everybody who is using the system and by and large this is a poorer population that already has some medical needs. And so as a result, youve now got Insurance Companies in many states saying we either are going draumtsally raise our rates or quit the seat. We wont do obamacare in nationwide. However if you have obamacare insurance, in other words if you get your insurance through the state exchange, theres a very good chance that youre going to get a tax credit that will offset the increase in the premium. So the vast majority of people who have obamacare, more than 70 , will not see an increase, and, in fact, Something Like 85 of people will still be able to get a plan with a monthly premium of 100. Thats it. Factors that go into this nationwide all of us are paying more for Health Insurance and our insurance deductibles are going up, our premiums are going up. Same thing is happening with obamacare. By the way, 11. 5 Million People have insurance under obamacare but 150 million of us get our insurance through our employers and none of us are affected in anyway by what happens with obamacare. Back to you. Trump did mention arizona but there are different increases in those subsidies and do experts say theres a fix to stopping some of the price spikes that remain . Reporter the fix would be for congress to go in and tweak it and adjust this Big Entitlement Program like do you for any Big Entitlement Program thats passed. You go in subsequent years and make adjustments and fix whats not working. The trouble is right now congress isnt working. So the question is this going to limp along for the next few years or months until Congress Make some adjustments. But in the short term what this means is people will end up having to pay more out of pocket both on your premiums but also your deductibles and what your total yearly bill will be for insurance. Thats the same as if youre getting your insurance through your employer as it is with obamacare. Tom, you did that in three minutes instead of three hours. I get it. Reporter i have 57 minutes left. Lets keep going. Thanks for breaking it down for you. T ahead on nbc nightly news thats at 7 00 right here on nbc 4. Were following a developing story daigt tonight out of pakistan.
