those all across the country that's why we have to act.us under obamacare, they are sky rocketing across the country. when he wants to improve affordability. too many have learned firsthand the so-called affordable care act has been anything but affordable. as obamacare takes a larger bite out of kentucky's budget the recent health and human services report shows obamacare premiums have spiked an average of 75% since 2013 when the law was fully implemented.pr this year alone the premiums shot up by as much as 47%. after years of being frustrated by obamacare a small business owner said she decided it was nonsense to buy insurance that covered nothing. although she pays a large sum every month it covers no prescription coverage and has a 6,000-dollar deductible. the rising cost of a burden to many industry they simply cannot bear. l i've received severalced heartbreaking letters. they pay for health insurance or put food on the table. as obamacare collapses, they are stuck dealing with the consequences, increasing costs to become the status quo and is completely unsustainable for kentucky

still cool across the north and the west but we do see bright spells across parts of england, temperaturest england. and then overnight our weather front, our band of rain, sinks southwards, taking the rain with it. at the same time, the rain eases across scotland. so here, the weather becomes a little bit dry overnight, and that is because we got a ridge of high—pressure moving in overnight across the north—west of the uk, before spreading in across england and wales as we move on into saturday. it means, all in all, for this weekend, that the weather prospects are a little bit drier and a little bit brighter. most of us will see spells of sunshine. that said, there could be a little bit of rain left over for the night—time across with extreme south—east of england, clearing away. then comes the sunshine. in the afternoon, thick cloud into scotland and northern ireland with a band of rain pushing in here. the winds freshening, as well. should stay relatively cool, 15 to 17 degrees for the north—west. quite warm across south—east of england, with highs up to 24. for sunday again most of us

we must do better -- better for kentuckians and better for families all across the country, that's why we have to act. under obamacare health care costs are skyrocketing in kentucky just as they are skyrocketing across the country. we want to improve affordability. too many kentuckians have learned firsthand that the so-called affordable care act has really been anything but affordable. premiums and deductibles continue to climb higher as obamacare takes a larger bite out of kentuckians budget. a recent report shows that premiums have spiked in kentucky by 75% since 2015 when the law was fully implemented. this year alone obamacare premiums shot up by as much as 47%. after years -- years of being frustrated by obamacare, a small business owner from lancaster, kentucky, decided, quote, it was nonsense to buy insurance that covered nothing. nonsense to buy insurance to cover nothing. her plan covers no office visits, no prescription coverage and has a $6,000 deductible. in her estimate it's useless. the rising cost of obamacare add a burden that many in my state simply cannot bear. i rec
