Obamacare Premiums Set to Rise 13% in 2027
Obamacare enrollees face a 13% average premium increase in 2027 for plans bought through Healthcare.gov.
The increase follows a 26% rise from 2025 to 2026.
Premiums are the regular payments people make to keep health insurance.
Subsidies will offset much of the increase, but the available information does not say how much each person’s costs will change.
People earning more than $64,000 will pay more.
The increases could make coverage more expensive for those customers, following a sharp rise this year.
The higher premiums are expected to take effect in 2027.
The average cost of Obamacare health insurance is expected to rise by 13 percent in 2027, according to a report by KFF.
The increase would follow a 26 percent rise from 2025 to 2026.
Much of next year’s increase will be offset by subsidies, according to The New York Times.
Customers earning more than $64,000 will pay more, the Times reported.
