Insurance premiums for Obamacare plans would rise 20 percent next year and people in small pockets of the country wouldn't have any insurance options if President Donald Trump scraps a key insurance subsidy, according to a new analysis from the CBO.
Trump has repeatedly threatened to pull the Obamacare subsidy - worth an estimated $7 billion this year - that helps insurers lower out-of-pocket health care costs for low-income customers. Trump must decide by early next week whether to make next month's payment.
The nonpartisan CBO also found eliminating the payments would increase the deficit by $194 billion over a decade because of higher spending on premium subsidies.
