James Blair, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff, blames rising health care costs on ObamaCare.
RecommendedIf you are wondering why health insurance has gotten so expensive, this is why.
The Democrats set up a massive wealth transfer system that takes money from American taxpayers and gives it to insurance companies.
And everybody’s premiums have skyrocketed in the interim. https://t.co/KsM9tSh6Ly

Obamacare is only 7% of Americans. Literally almost 100% of Americans need relief from their health care policy premiums, not just 7%. We need to have free market solutions that bring down the cost of health care for every American, not just the 7%. pic.twitter.com/QGMVJ9ONbG

U.S. Sen Rick Scott, R-FL, welcomed the idea. He said that he’s already writing the bill, and advocated to let consumers shop insurance across state lines.
Totally agree, @POTUS! I’m writing the bill right now.
We must stop taxpayer money from going to insurance companies and instead give it directly to Americans in HSA-style accounts and let them buy the health care they want. This will increase competition & drive down costs. pic.twitter.com/GbTdbTWP8b

.@POTUS is 100% correct, and @SenRickScott is exactly the right Senator to draft the legislation. No one knows more about healthcare than Rick. https://t.co/c0Hsl0Tkbs

Under ObamaCare premiums have doubled but the stock prices of some insurance companies have risen over 800, even 1000 percent.
Costs have skyrocketed and ObamaCare has been a disaster for working families. pic.twitter.com/hbs5X1BOTo

Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
