There might be errors, or perhaps incorrect assumptions, in that article.

The overall increase of 5% is only true if everyone stays in the program. (and that's only true as an average of all the states based on 2018 assumptions).

But you know what happens when you assume.

See this link for more detail:
http://acasignups.net/18/06/05/my-official-2019-rate-hike-project-explainer

This shows that the average rate of increase will be just over 15%. That is the only "hard" data because these 9 states and DC are the only ones who have posted their 2019 changes.

However, that 15% is only as a result of what the trump administration is doing (referred to as 'sabotage' by ACA Signups). Without trump's 'sabotage' the rate increase would only be an average of 3% or so.

So, it's not as "rosy" as your referenced article makes it out to be - sadly.

This article is from the genius healthcare analyst crew that once claimed while refuting the ACA that Stephen Hawking wouldn't have survived in the UK (the National Health Service one of the primary references for building the ACA in the US) under their healthcare system because of the lower quality of care, and how crippled humans are assessed for treatment.

Stephen Hawking is British and lived in the UK most of his life.

I'm ok with their stock metrics, but their research team for generic articles could use some work.
