Health Insurance Rates
Millions of Americans who take advantage of the Affordable Care Act could see their health insurance costs skyrocket next year due to multiple factors, including the expiration of COVID-era subsidies.
Factors Contributing to Increased Rates
The national health information nonprofit KFF found that ACA premiums will increase by an average of 15% in 2026. This increase is attributed to various factors, including the expiration of COVID-era subsidies.
Impact on Americans
Cynthia Cox, vice president and director of KFF’s Program on the ACA, joins to discuss the potential impact of these changes on Americans who rely on the Affordable Care Act for their health insurance. The increase in health insurance rates could affect millions of Americans who use the Affordable Care Act, making it challenging for them to afford healthcare.
