US EditionObamaCare Price Jump Hits Idaho First as Shutdown Deal Remains Elusive
More than 24 million ACA marketplace enrollees face premium and out-of-pocket costs doubling as expanded federal tax credits expire after 2025, experts say.
- With subsidies set to lapse, expanded ACA credits will expire at the end of 2025, causing more than 24 million people enrolled in marketplace plans to pay twice as much out of pocket, Jeanne Lambrew said.
- The government shutdown began Oct. 1, with budget negotiations pitting Democrats seeking to extend subsidies against Republicans prioritizing reopening the government.
- KFF's estimates show that average premiums would rise 114% from $888 to $1,904, while a one-person household at 1.5 times the federal poverty level would see costs jump from $100 to $1,168.
- Open enrollment beginning Nov. 1 means people selecting 2026 coverage will quickly face rising rates across marketplace plans and employer-provided insurance.
- Federal data show that about 92% of marketplace enrollees use the subsidies, and people ages 55 to 64 make up the largest group at risk of losing credits.
