North Carolina’s Patrick McHenry from the 10th district published a press release on Monday after Blue Cross and Blue Shield of NC announced rate hikes of nearly 26% for healthcare plans.
He said,
“Today’s announcement is further evidence that in North Carolina, the basic premise of Obamacare—that healthcare would become affordable—is a lie. The Affordable Care Act has been anything but, driving healthcare costs for Western North Carolina families higher each year since enactment. Simply put, this law does not work. It is time we start over—this time with real reform that empowers patients, encourages competition and drives down costs for all.”
