Did insurance premiums really increase because of Obamacare? I am continuing to write my essay on Universal healthcare, showing both the pros and cons, but I haven't been able to find any evidence Obamacare actually increased premiums, all I can find are conservative media outlets saying so. Trump often claimed Obamacare caused insurance prices to rise, and even some to lose their insurance, but I'm have trouble finding any evidence of that. Does anyone know anymore about this, or have any links to credible sites showing evidence of it?

I have no first hand experience with premiums but I can tell you that the benefits of the plans became almost nonexistent. Before Bathhouse Barry came along and fucked it up my mom's insurance covered the cost of a primary care visit minus a $20 copay for example. After his bullshit took effect it didn't pay a cent until you reached your unreasonably high deductible. Short of a catastrophe that never happens so in effect paying premiums is throwing money down the toilet.
