Health Insurance Plan Costs on Healthcare.gov to Rise by Double Digits in 2027

KFF says the average increase will push more families into cheaper plans with higher deductibles as medical costs and expiring subsidies squeeze coverage.

  • On Friday, the Trump administration published new 2027 prices for 30 states, revealing that ACA premiums will rise by 13% ahead of open enrollment beginning Sunday.
  • Rising hospital prices, artificial intelligence use in doctors' offices, and expensive specialty prescriptions like GLP-1 medicines are driving the premium increases across healthcare sectors.
  • Kate Dwyer, a resident of rural Oregon, faces her least expensive plan costs rising by more than $500 monthly to nearly $3,000, saying "It's either $3,000 or nothing."
  • Healthcare affordability ranks as a top voter concern ahead of Tuesday's midterm elections; the Trump administration sent one-time $500 checks to nearly 1 million Americans to offset costs.
  • House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has pledged a vote to restore extra subsidies if Democrats win, while enrollment fell by nearly 5 million people as of June.
