Obamacare Premiums Set to Soar Ahead of Open Enrollment
Democrats tell us what they want but refuse to negotiate
Premiums for state enrollees are rising 17 percent, while premiums for others are spiking 30 percent, according to a new analysis of recently released data.Factors behind the increasing premiums include higher hospital costs and more people using weight loss drugs called GLP-1s, KFF said.
Most Americans are insured through their employers, but 24 million obtained health insurance through a marketplace during the 2025 enrollment period, which ended in January. Seventeen million obtained insurance through Healthcare.gov
The average monthly premium in 2025 was $619 before subsidies, or tax credits, and $113 a month after the credits. The increases do not take into account the impact that the expiration of enhanced subsidies would have, KFF said. Congress approved enhanced subsidies for Obamacare in 2021, and later extended them through the end of 2025.
Democrats want a continuation of the subsidies included in legislation to end the government shutdown, but Republicans have said they will not negotiate on the matter until Congress reopens the government.

ReplyDeleteThe Affordable Care Act (ACA), or Obamacare, costs the U.S. government tens of billions of dollars annually, with spending on subsidies projected to be around $82-125 billion in 2024
Well I started doing my open enrollment for Obamacare for me and my spouse yesterday and it's not as bad as people are saying so don't worry about it and don't fret so much it's not that bad if you're not working anymore and you're retired and not making a lot of money the premiums won't be that bad you can make it, they're a little bit higher than last year but you can get a silver plan instead of a gold plan and it'll be about the same amount and the silver plan actually has some bigger and better benefits anyway so just go with a silver plan instead of the gold and it won't be that bad and it won't cost anymore I don't think so. I'm glad that it's not as bad as all of the hype from the Democrats and the news.
