"According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, marketplace enrollees will see their premium payments more than double on average - "a 114% increase from an average of $888 in 2025 to $1,904 in 2026." The Congressional Budget Office projects up to 4 million people could lose coverage entirely. A 60-year-old couple earning just over 400% of the federal poverty level could see their annual premiums jump to $22,600."
"In the meantime, among the millions of affected Americans are a lot of nannies. And nannies, as it happens, provide a lot of structural support for Biglaw productivity. The day-to-day reality of billing 2200+ hours while raising children depends heavily on the domestic workers who make it all possible. Workers who, unlike Biglaw associates, don't have employer-sponsored health insurance rely heavily on the exchanges."
Enhanced Affordable Care Act premium subsidies expire at the end of the month, removing financial assistance for millions of marketplace enrollees. Marketplace premiums are projected to more than double on average, rising 114% from $888 in 2025 to $1,904 in 2026, and the CBO projects up to four million people could lose coverage. A 60-year-old couple just over 400% of FPL could face annual premiums near $22,600. Political opposition and partisan refusal to extend subsidies have prevented replacement proposals. Many affected workers lack employer-sponsored insurance, including nannies whose labor supports Biglaw associates billing 2,200+ hours.
