"Affordable Care Act insurers are proposing their steepest premium increases since 2018, driven in part by the looming expiration of Biden-era enhanced premium subsidies and by the Trump administration’s tariffs, a new KFF analysis has found.
.
Insurers are asking for a typical rate increase of 15% with more than a quarter proposing hikes of 20% or more. KFF, a nonpartisan health policy research group, looked at 105 Obamacare insurers in 19 states and the District of Columbia that have filed rates so far.
.
Steep rate increases in 2018 were also fueled by Drumpf administration policies, which were focused on weakening the ACA during the president’s first term after Republicans in Congress failed to repeal it in 2017.
.
While rising health care costs account for about half of the coming year’s proposed increases, two other forces under the control of Presidunce Spanky and congressional Republicans are also driving up rates, KFF found."
