US EditionRepublicans are quietly rolling back Obamacare. Here’s how
New rules and legislation could cause up to 1.8 million people to lose coverage and drive an 18% median premium increase by 2026, experts say.
- At the close of 2025, the expiration of increased federal premium subsidies for Obamacare will lead to significant impacts on the ACA program across the country.
- This expiration and related policies come amid ongoing Republican efforts to weaken Obamacare without outright repeal, following past failed attempts.
- New CMS rules end automatic reenrollment, reduce subsidies, and allow insurers to raise out-of-pocket costs, hiking annual premiums by hundreds of dollars.
- Insurers are planning to increase premiums by a median of 18% in 2026—more than twice last year’s rise—and as a result, up to 1.8 million individuals may lose their coverage next year.
- Experts warn these changes partially repeal the ACA, causing turmoil for insurers and consumers, while reversing years of progress in reducing the uninsured rate.
