Health insurance premiums and deductibles have been rising every year

The mid-term elections have seen the Republicans campaigning on stopping illegal immigration and the Democrats campaigning on preserving Obamacare and expanding it to universal healthcare.
Health insurance premiums have risen every year. That was to be expected, but not how high the rates have gone up. And because employers want to reduce the amount of insurance they pay for their employee coverage, the deductibles have skyrocketed as well.
So, since the Democrats like Obamacare, they must like getting hit with the double whammy of rising premiums and deductibles.
Of course, if Obamacare were ever to be replaced by the Republicans, which appears rather doubtful, the new type of private health insurance would also see rising premiums, while deductibles could rise as well.
Either way, we are fucked!
