Constituents confront Rep. Mark Walker over higher Obamacare premiums in North Carolina

A top House lawmaker and his constituents argued over who is to blame for rising Obamacare premiums in North Carolina.

Rep. Mark Walker, R-N.C., said at a town hall in Alamance County Tuesday the state's lone Obamacare insurer request for a rate hike of nearly 23 percent next year is evidence the law is failing.

"Their rates and premiums are going up 22, 23 percent," he said.

However, some of his constituents quickly shouted that premiums would only go up about 9 percent if President Trump guaranteed Obamacare's insurer subsidies next year.

My apologies for the linked news source, but I could not find another source covering the same topic. The article is not particularly favorable to Rep. Walker.
