Maybe $1300 a month.

$13,000 a month is higher than the high risk premium when insurance was allowed to charge based on individual health. Even without the subsidies, premiums for ACA compliant insurance are still community-based.

I believe the subsidies revert to the old, pre-pandemic levels. However, it will be a big increase for many. Silent Type Jul 2025 #4
