Premiums for Obamacare health plans in 2018 are lower for the insured than in 2017 due to Trump's pig-headed stupidity.

Trump’s decision to cut CSR funding was last on a long list of efforts he took to undermine Obamacare this year, and it had the biggest impact on the 2018 marketplace — just not in the ways most people like Trump expected.

Insurers did raise premiums as predicted, but at the direction of savvy state insurance commissioners, they loaded the all of the premium increases on silver-level plans which are linked to Federal premium tax credits which pay the premium increase for the insured.

The higher the prices of silver-level plans went, the bigger the Federal tax credit people will get.

Due to Trump's daffy attempt at sabotage, suddenly people found $0 premium bronze-level plans and most people wound up with a 2018 plan which cost less than their 2017 plan.
