US EditionMany Iowans Are Going to See Their Health Insurance Premiums Go Way up. Here's How much:
Federal subsidies for Affordable Care Act plans expire, causing average premium increases of 17% to 30%, affecting more than 20 million Americans, analysts say.
- On Oct. 30, 2025, KFF reported federal Obamacare marketplaces will see 30% average premium increases next year, while states that run their own marketplaces will experience 17% hikes as subsidies expire.
- Congressional inaction amid budget talks and a nearly monthlong government shutdown has ended subsidies, while rising hospital and drug prices and greater GLP-1 drug use drive premiums up.
- In Oregon, retiree Sue Monahan's premium could increase from $439 to $1,059, and modest rises of $25 to $85 threaten affordability for many.

- New price listings this week show consumers can preview 2026 plans before Nov. 1 at HealthCare.gov as open enrollment begins Saturday, with Democrats demanding subsidy extensions while Republican leaders await the shutdown's end.
