“Stock prices for health insurance companies are “up over 1,000% over a short period of time.”
What PolitiFact found
Large, publicly traded health insurers have seen stock price increases over the past 15 years, in one case exceeding 1,000%. Information that President Donald Trump appeared to be citing shows stock price increases generally in the 500% to 750% range over 15 years. The information Trump appeared to cite stops in 2024, ignoring a period of time when most of these companies’ stock prices fell.
