New health insurance premium cost check-in -- mine went up 43%.

[W_HAMILTON]

And I'm a single person, so I can't imagine what bigger families are going to be dealing with...

2025 cost: $418.46/month
2026 cost: $597.45/month

$178.99/month increase, meaning an increase of 43%...

EDIT: I am on an Affordable Care Act/healthcare exchange health insurance plan.

1. That is obscene. I am so sorry.

2. Reddit has a thread with everyone reporting their big increases

3. Medicare? Advantage or Medigap?

We're waiting to see what ours are for next year - BCBS Medigap.

4. None of the above -- I'm on an ACA/healthcare exchange plan. I'll edit my OP so people know that.

5. Ah. Thanks. So sorry for that brutal increase.

[W_HAMILTON]

6. Thank you. Also, what's crazy is that I don't even receive much (if any) of a subsidy...

...meaning that increase was mostly due strictly to premium increases, which were expected to be higher than normal to make up for the decrease in subsidies and expected loss of those being able to afford health insurance that would result.

In short, if someone WAS receiving subsidies, not only would they be hit with the decrease in subsidies (which Democrats are fighting to get re-established), but they will ALSO get hit by the unusual increase in premiums as a result of the expected decrease in subsidies -- so, in actuality, they are getting hit twice!

7. Very little makes sense these days...

8. Mine is going from $194 to $1,200 a month

That's 33% of my income after taxes.

I am VERY ANGRY!
