FACT CHECK: Trump Says Obamacare Is 'Exploding.' It's Not
What's working
1) The exchanges are stable ...
2) ... In part because many people are shielded from premium hikes.
Indeed, premiums have climbed substantially in some states' exchanges, but PolitiFact found this week that "most people purchasing health care through the marketplace didn't feel it."
3) The uninsured rate has fallen — a lot.
Probably the biggest positive supporters of the Affordable Care Act point to is the fast-falling rate of people who don't have health insurance.
4) Premiums are holding steady (but don't praise Obamacare for that)
One more point that's not exactly great, but is an improvement:
Premiums continue to grow for enrollees in employer-provided plans, but that growth is slower than it was in the years prior to the Affordable Care Act's passage.

there are negatives, but they are ALL due to the insurance companies FLEECING ALL Americans by raising insurance prices to transfer wealth to investors. ACA is not involved in raising prices.

No, Obamacare Isn’t in a ‘Death Spiral’
If you listen to many Republicans in Washington, the Affordable Care Act’s insurance markets are in a “death spiral,” “imploding,” “collapsing” or “will fall of their own weight.”
But the new estimates from the Congressional Budget Office contradict this long-held talking point. According to the budget office, the Obamacare markets will remain stable over the long run, if there are no significant changes.
Growing evidence suggests that the markets are far from collapse.
Because of how the subsidies work, people were generally shielded from this year’s higher prices, and enrollment is steady.
Several recent analyses argue that this year’s increase was a market correction, and that a smoother market would follow in the years ahead.
