The former was (sometimes) wrong, but anyone who deals with insurance on a regular basis knows that doctors move in and out of insurance plans and networks all the time - this isn't a fault of the ACA, merely a choice on the doctor's part. I've had the same doctors for over a decade, as has my wife.
As for the latter, in my experience the *rate of increase* has slowed measurably. Again, a lie? I'd be hesitant to call it that, and if I were a Trump defender I'd have to be neck deep in my own hypocrisy to stick on these old tropes as evidence of deceit when giving Trump a pass daily.
Sorry, but Gruber specifically stated that Obama knew, undoubtedly, that when he said, " if you like your doctor ..." he was lying. It is on the record.
Insofar as my increases, I saw 40%+ increases three years in a row when the law went into effect. I had good coverage too, with no life time limits on service. I did not get coverage for things like prostate exams, or other 50+ years of age issues, but then again I did not need them. I also did not have a prescription plans, but the two times I paid for prescriptions out of pocket, it cost me $20, max, so whats the point. Now I have no choice.
Look on the bright I guess, that $65 extra dollars per month I am paying just covered a $100 tetanus shot and a $85 MMR booster shot, first prescriptions I've filled in at least 8 years. In another 10 years I guess, they'll cover it again.
