What it amounts to is a Covid era subsidy expiring. The article title makes it seem like ACA health insurance is going up 5x but in reality the expectation is 75%, this particular case must be an outlier.

You might be surprised how few Americans can ‘laugh off’ even a one-time payment increase of $2,300–let alone a monthly recurring one.


I'm also an "outlier", I guess. But I'm on a marketplace plan. Currently I pay $25 for my monthly premium. Next year it'll be $132. And I'm under 40.
