when premiums rise for people eligible for subsidies, somebody has to pay for the necessary increase in subsidies?
Good thing premiums are increasing at an historically slow rate!

Of course I do - I'd hope that Congress can address the 3% of the population that falls into this category without harming the other 97%. Unfortunately, Republicans in Congress don't seem to want that.
The 97 will always bear the cost.
Since you're for it you can volunteer to pay for everyone who isn't.

Quite well...with the lowest approval rating for a new president in the history of the office of the presidency. Quite well indeed.

I wish they would move on to tax reform and come back to this later.
Problem is the cuts to poor people in this help make room for even bigger tax cuts for the rich when it comes to the tax reform agenda.
That's mostly why Ryan has admitted not passing this makes tax reform harder.

Get out of here with your anecdotal stuff. Pretty soon, he'll pull out the charts and graphs of EXTREMELY cherrypicked data to "prove" you wrong.

increasing deductibles or cost shifting to the patient are great at slowing the premium increases.

Of course not, but they do not represent the norm. Blowing up the entire system rather than helping to eliminate these outliers is a terrible and ignorant response.

Close the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center
Expand eligibility for Medicaid
Create a public "Contracts and Influence" database
Increase the supply of affordable housing throughout metropolitan regions
Advance the biomedical research field (Funding decreased)
Eliminate all oil and gas tax loopholes
Expand the child and dependent care credit
Require publicly traded financial partnerships to pay the corporate income tax
Close loopholes in the corporate tax deductibility of CEO pay
Create a foreclosure prevention fund for homeowners
Provide option for a pre-filled-out tax form
Require automatic enrollment in 401(k) plans
Oh, really?
Maybe you just weren't paying attention.
ETA
I can look for a few more, if you would like.

He's really nailed it with all that meaningful legislation passed. Like letting ISP's sell your data without your consent and making it easier for businesses that abuse their workers to get government contracts.

It's been less than 4 months. Calm down. Obamacare will be gone. Just be patient.

I'll have to see if I can find 2016 commercial increases as 2017 data isn't available obviously.

It simply cannot be done. Unless you eradicate freedom, which we know you'd love
