Story summary

ACA insurers propose a 14 percent premium rise for 2027, the year of double-digit hikes.
Seventy-seven insurers filed proposals in 16 states and D.C., blaming rising health-care costs and loss of subsidies after tax credits ended, which cut enrollment by over 2.5 million.
Households earning at least 400 % of the poverty line face higher premiums, with some plans doubled or tripled in 2026, a spike that experts say affects those without assistance.
