Obamacare premiums surged this year. A new analysis shows it's likely to happen again in 2027

A new analysis by KFF reveals that Affordable Care Act insurers are proposing a 14% median premium increase for 2027, driven by rising healthcare costs, regulatory changes, and expired pandemic-era subsidies. The ACA marketplace has shrunk by over 2.5 million enrollees since the subsidies ended, contributing to higher costs for middle-class enrollees without subsidies.
