There was plenty of reaction on Twitter from people who have seen the effect of Obamacare on their insurance premiums:
@TuckerCarlson just got a DEM @jahimes to admit "yes, there's been a lot of lying" re: ACA

This guy on @TuckerCarlson's show is ridiculous. My premium went up by 69%, and the deductible went up from $6000 to $6500. Unaffordable.

@TuckerCarlson We don't love it because I pay 1250 / month for 13000 deductible. It's junk.

@TuckerCarlson This guy has no idea about AHCA! I'm an old lady whose drug cost went UP! Not to mention premiums! $128 to $1320 PM! ?

@TuckerCarlson The congressman said Obama care only raises cost on individuals making more than $200,000 a year. My premiums 10k a year.
