福克斯新闻 白宫攻击共和党州长导致医改费用增加

Just two days after the Obama Administration announced that healthcare premiums² under ObamaCare will increase an average of 25 percent for 2017, White House spokesman Josh Earnest blamed Republican governors for the price increase by not expanding Medicaid:

奥巴马政府宣布2017年医改的保险费用将平均增加25%，两天之后，白宫发言人欧内斯特(Josh Earnest)指责保险费的增加是由于共和党州长没有扩大公共医疗补助。

(Earnest) “In some states, Republican politicians have been reasonably successful in sabotaging³ the effective implementation⁴ of the Affordable⁵ Care Act.”

（欧内斯特）“在某些州，共和党政客相当成功地破坏了平价医疗法案的有效实施。”

Earnest pointed⁶ out that the vast majority of ObamaCare enrollees receive financial assistance to shield them from the effect of insurance premium¹ increases.

欧内斯特指出，大部分参加奥巴马医改的人都会收到财政补贴，保护他们免受保险费用增加的影响。
