new survey by oliver wyman that the average increase being requested by insurers for coverage on the 2018 obamacare exchanges is 20%, two, o. 43% asking for increases in, ses of 20%. at the top end, maryland insurer, carefirst is asking for 52% increase in rates. as in the past, insures are raising rates dramatically because of lack of young people signing foundup for obamacare coverage. under certain hety around obamacare policy is pushing them to assume worst case scenarios. as more and more pull out of the exchanges, according to center for medicare & medicaid services, 1200 counties, 40% of all counties nationwide that contain 2.4 million customers of obamacare will have a single insurer on their exchange next year. another 47 counties, mostly in ohio, missouri and washington, will have no choices at all. the senate's efforts to craft a bill to repeal and replace obamacare is foundering on conservative objections to the direction the bill is taking. at issue the medicaid expansion. how long should the program keep running? also how many of the 21 tax increases put in place by oba

intelligence committee which i had the pleasure of sitting on with senator feinstein i know senator wyman has been an ardent advocate of producing a number but i think it would create if it was possible which i agree that under the circumstances it's not possible to come up with a reliable number, for the reasons i mentioned, but i think it would also add fuel to the flame of some of the conspiracy theorists who seem to think that our intelligence community is doing things which it is legally prohibited from doing and thank goodness for that. and that would be targeting american citizens without observing the formalities of constitutional rights under the fourth amendment. so i think under the circumstances, the political environment we find ourselves in is how do we preserve the crown jewels of the intelligence community under 702 and reauthorize this important tool used by the fbi and by our intelligence community and also reassure the public that the oversight that takes place whether it's internal at the nsa or whether it's congressional oversight hearings here and in the intelligence

so the average increase, what we're hearing, comes from a survey by oliver wyman, 20%, that is the averageross the country. 43% of those insurers want more, more than 20%. a company called caremark in maryland, says, no, we want 52%. this is on top of increases we've seen already baked in. stuart: which presumably puts more fresh impetus into the legislation which is going to be passed quickly to repeal and replace obamacare. >> i was talking to senate offices all day yesterday. they feel that pressure. they have to do something. yet that bill is hamstrung on a couple things. medicaid expansion. conservatives they want the medicaid expansion gone and gone quickly. more liberal members of the gop caucus want it gone more slowly. what about taxes obamacare put in place, should they all go away? conservatives say yes. liberals say no. stuart: if they don't pass repeal and replace, just don't get it done, consumers will say, look what you left me with? you left me with 20% average increases in my premiums. almost doubled in the last few years. consumers are going to say you republicans are to
