Merry Christmas -Your present from Trump will be very BIG increase in your Health Insurance-

So many that I talk to are feeling just plain helpless at this moment--and Trump has done absolutely NOTHING to help people with these increase costs--but I am sure he and his family and friends will enjoy themselves over the Holidays with Tax money paying their bills.


From Google just now:
Overview
ACA premium subsidies
, specifically the enhanced ones from the American Rescue Plan and extended by the Inflation Reduction Act, are set to expire at the end of 2025 (December 31, 2025), meaning millions on the Affordable Care Act marketplaces could face significantly higher premiums starting in 2026 unless Congress acts to extend them.

Key Details:

Expiration Date: December 31, 2025.
What's Ending: The enhanced Premium Tax Credits (PTCs) that made coverage more affordable for a broader range of incomes (over 400% of the poverty line) and lowered costs at all levels.
Impact: Without an extension, many enrollees will see large increases in their monthly payments for 2026 coverage.
