URGENT: Your Health Insurance Could Get More Expensive in 2026

URGENT: Your Health Insurance Could Get More Expensive in 2026

FACTS YOU NEED TO KNOW:

Enhanced Premium Tax Credits Lower Costs for Millions

• Thanks to enhanced subsidies passed in recent years, more than 24 million Americans—including those with chronic and rare conditions, pay much less for monthly insurance premiums.

These Credits Are Set to Expire for 2026

• If Congress doesn’t reauthorize them by September 30, 2025, health plans for 2026 will be priced without them.
• This means huge increases in premiums for many families.

Without Action, Premiums Could Rise by 75% to 93%

• That’s hundreds or even thousands of dollars more each year.
• Some people will be forced to drop coverage altogether—especially in states that didn’t expand Medicaid.

Open Enrollment Starts November 1

• If nothing changes by then, families will see higher prices and fewer affordable options.
• This will hit the chronically ill and low-income communities the hardest.

Insurers Need to Finalize Prices by October

• That’s why Congress must act by September 30, waiting longer won’t help. 

 WHO IS MOST AT RISK?

• Patients with chronic or rare conditions (like hemophilia)
• Low- and middle-income families
• Older adults not yet on Medicare
• People in non-Medicaid expansion states
• Self-employed or gig workers relying on ACA marketplace plans
