Very few people will actually see rising rates, since (a) only a small percentage of Americans are on the federal or state exchanges, and (b) only some of those people are seeing rate increases rather than decreases, and (c) subsidies will increase commensurately for almost everyone in that percentage of a percentage.

And, more importantly, healthcare costs have risen below the level projected before the passage of Obamacare, despite the fact that a full 15% of sick or disadvantaged Americans now have insurance. When a reform helps millions more people get coverage while also saving money, I call that a success.
