ACA Health Insurers Propose Significant Premium Hikes for 2027

Health insurers participating in the Affordable Care Act marketplace are proposing median rate increases of 14% for 2027, marking the second consecutive year of substantial premium hikes. These proposed increases, among the highest since 2018, are attributed to rising medical costs and policy changes. If approved, millions of enrollees could face higher costs, especially with the expiration of federal enhanced subsidies.
