I'm confident they'll be renewed, but having them for a while is a lot better than never having them.

That's bad, as I've said.

"fewer people have health insurance which will shift costs onto those who do, further raising rates in a upward spiral and making it less affordable"

I wasn't aware that when Obamacare added more people to insurance rolls, that lowered the cost for those who already had private insurance. In fact, I know for a fact that's not what happened. Quite the opposite in fact, because people on the exchanges had low reimbursement rates to health care providers, meaning they had to charge higher rates to those in the private sector. Spiraling medical costs are not caused by one party or the other.
And Congress is responsible for the deficit.

Since apparently Trump bears no responsibility for anything why is he so important to you?

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

"no responsibility for anything"--again with the extremism.
