Enhanced ACA tax credits lapsed, causing insurers to raise premiums and threatening coverage affordability during open enrollment.
Where it stands: Insurers are raising the monthly premiums they charge for marketplace coverage by an average of 26% across the country, according to an analysis from KFF. Virginia's marketplace started sending renewal notices to residents outlining premium increases between 4% and 40%. Colorado announced this week that the cost of 2026 coverage sold on the state's marketplace will double compared with this year. Pennsylvania said premiums will increase an average of 21.5% next year.
