Fact Check: Did Trump and Mike Collins double health insurance premiums for more than 1 million Georgians and cause 300,000 to lose coverage?

Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.


Claimant: Jon Ossoff (D)


Claim: President Donald Trump and U.S. Rep. Mike Collins “doubled health insurance premiums for more than a million Georgians and threw 300,000 Georgians off their insurance altogether.”


Rating: MOSTLY TRUE


Explanation: Collins supported the Trump-backed law that did not extend enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies and later voted against extending the tax credits. Average Georgia marketplace premiums more than doubled, and enrollment losses indicate that at least 300,000 people are likely losing coverage.
