Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Insurance company stocks have risen 15 times in value since the passage of Obamacare.
The finding
What the evidence shows
Insurer stocks have risen a lot since 2010, but not 15 times. PolitiFact found UnitedHealth, the best performer, up about 1,216 percent, which is roughly 13 times its 2010 price. The other big insurers rose about 5 to 8 times, and an industry-weighted average rose about 700 percent, or about 8 times. Stock price data showing the major insurers as a group up about 15 times since March 2010 would prove this verdict wrong.
