#Premiums
The stunning move comes after #House #Republican leaders pushed ahead with a #healthcare bill that does not address the soaring monthly #premiums that millions of people will soon endure as the tax credits for those who buy #insurance through the #AffordableCareAct expire at year’s end.
#Democrats led by Minority Leader #HakeemJeffries of New York needed 218 signatures to force a floor vote on their bill, which would extend the subsides for 3 years.
This will only become more pronounced now. If you have money, you may get the treatment you need.
If you don't have money, you're out of luck.
And, of course, when over half of white Christians who proudly profess to be pro-life have voted for Trump three times, this all comes to us courtesy of pro-life Christian voters.

This will affect all of us, not just the poorest among us, those covered by ACA. It will have knock-on effects across the healthcare sector as many people opt out of coverage altogether.
Whether you get medical treatment already depends in the US — as opposed to all other developed nations — on how much money you have.

As Eric Berger reports, now that Republicans have decided to kill healthcare coverage for the least affluent among us, the average amount Americans enrolled in ACA can expect to pay annually for premiums is estimated to rise from $888 this year to $1,904 in 2026.
This will affect all of us, not just the poorest among us, those covered by ACA.

"a political system that has allowed costs for most goods for most Americans to rise outside their comfort level — and just allowed health costs to spike even further — and an electorate that is screaming for change.
If the midterms are an affordability election, Trump and the Republicans will likely do very poorly."

"Subsidies for ACA premiums are set to expire on December 31, 2025. The subsidies were killed by Republicans to pay for the billionaire tax cut in the Big Ugly Bill."

"The Republicans’ budget reconciliation bill of July—the one they call the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”—did not extend the premium tax credits for healthcare insurance bought on the Affordable Care Act market that subsidizes that insurance. Today, Senate Republicans voted against the Democrats’ measure to extend the premium tax credits for three years."

"Now I'm seeing that attitude kind of infect the healthcare debate ... Republican legislators are coming out and just saying explicitly, like, hey, if you're healthy, you're fine. If you're not, there's something wrong with you and you deserve not to get coverage. You know, you deserve to be sick and meet your fate because it's all your fault."

"Over the last year, it has become more and more common to hear Republicans say things that usually, you know, in years past, you would have seen them having to resign over it, like Trump's rants over Somali immigrants in Minneapolis, just completely racist garbage."

"This is what it’s come to in Donald Trump’s America. Partisan politics has rarely been this destructive or painful. And for so many Americans, it’s a feeling of helplessness unlike anything they’ve felt before. The government is bankrupting and endangering its citizens."

"The Senate managed to fail at passing both a Republican and a Democratic plan — meaning life-saving subsidies for more than 20 million Americans will expire in 2026. Families could see premiums jump by $1,000 or more. This is the cost of Republican dysfunction: fake proposals, political stunts, and real people paying the price."

Map Shows How Much Health Insurance Premiums Will Go Up in Each State

Millions of Americans could face dramatically higher health insurance bills next year as enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium tax credits are set to run out.
Why It Matters
The enhanced subsidies, which lower monthly premiums for people across income levels, expire at the end of the year, raising the prospect of substantial increases for enrollees, unless Congress intervenes.
The ACA marketplace, established in 2010, offers health insurance to people who don’t qualify for Medicaid and aren’t covered through an employer. In 2020, Congress introduced the Enhanced Premium Tax Credit to help lower costs during the COVID-19 pandemic. The expanded subsidies significantly reduced monthly premiums—and for some low-income enrollees, brought them down to $0.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, letting the subsidies lapse would cause next year’s premiums to more than double for many enrollees and leave an estimated 2 million additional people uninsured.
States Facing Highest Increases
According to analysis by KFF Health, the financial shock will be sharpest for older adults at middle incomes—particularly those just above the previous eligibility cutoff for ACA subsidies. Among all income tiers examined, the current enhanced credits yield the biggest benefit for those at 401 percent of the federal poverty level, which is equal to $62,757 for an individual in the contiguous U.S. (with higher thresholds in Alaska and Hawaii)
For a 60-year-old at that income level, the expiration of enhanced credits would at least double average annual premiums for a benchmark silver plan in 46 states and Washington, D.C. In 19 of those states, premiums would at least triple, consuming more than a quarter of a person’s yearly income.

The steepest increases occur in:
- Wyoming: +$22,452 per year
- West Virginia: +$22,006
- Alaska: +$19,636
On why premiums will rise the most in these states, Professor Stacey B. Lee, professor at Johns Hopkins University and CEO of Praxis Pacisci, a negotiations training institute, told Newsweek: “These states have limited insurer competition, older and smaller populations, high provider prices, and geographic challenges that make delivering care more expensive. In these markets, the gross premiums, meaning the price before subsidies, can exceed $30,000 a year for a 60-year-old. The enhanced credits did more than reduce premiums. In many cases, they made coverage mathematically possible for middle-income residents.”
