Obamacare premiums expected to rise 13% in 2027 after 26% increase

The Hill reported that health insurance premiums for Obamacare enrollees are expected to increase by 13 percent in 2027. This follows a significant 26 percent rise in premiums from 2025 to 2026, according to a report published by the health research group KFF.

KFF's findings indicate that the average cost of health insurance plans available on Healthcare.gov will continue to climb, impacting those who rely on the marketplace for coverage.

The consecutive double-digit premium increases highlight ongoing challenges in the affordability of health insurance under the Affordable Care Act.

Policymakers and stakeholders may need to consider measures to address rising costs and maintain access to coverage for enrollees.
