Health Care Premiums Doubled: What Happened to the Subsidies
Published 1 week, 6 days ago
Description
This episode explains how the enhanced ACA premium tax credits expired on December 31, 2025 after Congress failed to extend them. Average subsidised premiums roughly doubled for 2026, and marketplace enrollment fell by millions. It covers the House's three-year extension passed in January 2026 that the Senate did not take up, the White House $500 payment proposal versus wider losses, diverging state responses, and 2027 rate filings pointing higher.
