This is how health insurance prices will increase under Obamacare in 2026

Obamacare is the popular name for the Affordable Care Act (ACA), enacted in 2010 by President Barack Obama.

Currently, the number of people benefiting from or insured through Obamacare (including enrollments through the Health Insurance Marketplace, the Medicaid expansion, and other ACA provisions) is estimated at nearly 50 million Americans.

But as a result of the provisions of the “big, beautiful” fiscal package, these subsidies, approved in 2021 and extended in 2022, were eliminated. This sparked the fight between Democrats and Republicans that led to the government shutdown.

Democrats conditioned their vote to reopen the government on the restoration of the subsidies. The White House and Republicans are only willing to discuss the issue with the government open. 

An excellent analysis by The New York Times, using data from the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), shows “considerable increases” in monthly premiums across most of the country.

If Congress allows these subsidies to expire at the end of this year, premiums will increase significantly, in some cases by more than $1,000 per month, according to the analysis.

Currently, people with lower incomes—less than $24,000 a year—pay no monthly premiums thanks to the expanded subsidies. But if they expire, they will lose access to free insurance. A 27-, 40-, or 60-year-old would pay $66 a month, instead of $0.

“Although the increase seems modest, it represents a significant blow to those earning less than $2,000 per month. Since the enhanced subsidies were implemented, enrollment in this low-income group has tripled, with sharp increases in Texas, Florida, and Georgia,” according to the analysis.

A worker earning $35,000 will see their premium more than double, rising from $86 to $218 per month for a typical plan. About 40% of those enrolled in the ACA marketplace fall into this income bracket.

For those earning around $65,000, the impact will depend on their age and where they live. A 27-year- old will pay $540 per month (an increase of $80). At age 40, the cost rises to $656 (an increase of $196). At age 60, it jumps to $1,380, an increase of $920.

The NYT and KFF analysis indicates that older adults will be particularly affected, as insurers can charge them more than younger people. In rural areas or states with small markets, such as Wyoming or West Virginia, premiums are even higher. In southern Illinois, for example, a 60-year-old could go from paying $460 to $2,800 per month.

Those earning around $95,000 and under 40 won’t see significant changes, as the benefits barely reach them. However, those over 60 will lose support: their premiums will rise from $673 to $1,387, an increase of $714 per month. “Less than 10% of Obamacare enrollees earn more than $65,000 a year, but for them, the increases could be the most pronounced. In contrast, most low-income beneficiaries will see smaller increases in dollar terms, although significant relative to their income,” he noted.

Enrollment in the marketplaces began on November 1st, and Congress is still debating whether or not to extend the benefits.

KFF offers an online tool to estimate the increases in specific cases. https://www.kff.org/interactive/calculator-aca-enhanced-premium-tax-credit/

 

Así aumentarán los precios del seguro de salud bajo Obamacare en 2026

Obamacare es el nombre popular de la Ley del Cuidado de Salud Asequible (Affordable Care Act o ACA), promulgada en 2010 por el presidente Barack Obama.

Actualmente, el número de personas beneficiadas o aseguradas a través de Obamacare (incluyendo las inscripciones a través del Mercado de Seguros, la expansión de Medicaid y otras disposiciones de la ACA) se estima en casi 50 millones de estadounidenses.

Pero a raíz de las disposiciones del “grande y bello” paquete fiscal, se eliminaron esos subsidios, aprobados en 2021 y extendidos en 2022. Eso motivó la pelea entre demócratas y republicanos que provocó el cierre del gobierno.

Los demócratas condicionaron su voto para la reapertura del gobierno a la restauración de los subsidios. La Casa Blanca y los republicanos sólo están dispuestos a discutir el tema con el gobierno abierto.

Un excelente análisis de The New York Times con datos de la Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) muestra “incrementos considerables” en las primas mensuales en la mayoría del país.

Si el Congreso permite que dichos apoyos expiren al final de este año, las primas aumentarán significativamente, en algunos casos hasta más de mil dólares mensuales, de acuerdo con el análisis.

Actualmente, las personas con menores ingresos —menos de $24,000 al año— no pagan primas mensuales gracias a los subsidios ampliados. Pero si expiran, perderán el acceso a un seguro gratuito. Una persona de 27, 40 o 60 años pagaría $66 al mes, en lugar de $0.

“Aunque el aumento parece modesto, representa un golpe importante para quienes ganan menos de $2,000 mensuales. Desde que se implementaron los subsidios reforzados, la inscripción en este grupo de bajos ingresos se ha triplicado, con fuertes incrementos en Texas, Florida y Georgia”, de acuerdo con el análisis.

Un trabajador que gana $35,000 verá cómo su prima más que se duplica, pasando de $86 a $218 mensuales para un plan típico. Alrededor del 40 % de los inscritos en el mercado de la ACA se encuentra en este rango de ingresos. Para quienes ganan alrededor de $65,000, el impacto dependerá de su edad y lugar de residencia. Una persona de 27 años pagará $540 mensuales (un aumento de $80). A los 40 años, el costo sube a $656 (+$196). A los 60 años, se dispara a $1,380, un aumento de $920.

El análisis del NYT y KFF indica que los adultos mayores se verán especialmente afectados, ya que las aseguradoras pueden cobrarles más que a los jóvenes. En zonas rurales o estados con mercados pequeños, como Wyoming o Virginia Occidental, las primas son aún más altas. En el sur de Illinois, por ejemplo, una persona de 60 años podría pasar de pagar $460 a $2,800 mensuales.

Quienes ganan alrededor de $95,000 y tienen menos de 40 años no verán grandes cambios, ya que las ayudas casi no los benefician. Sin embargo, los mayores de 60 años sí perderán apoyo: sus primas subirán de $673 a $1,387, un aumento de $714 mensuales.

“Menos del 10 % de los inscritos en Obamacare ganan más de $65,000 al año, pero para ellos las alzas podrían ser las más pronunciadas. En contraste, la mayoría de los beneficiarios de bajos ingresos verán incrementos menores en dólares, aunque significativos en proporción a su salario”, apuntó.

Las inscripciones en los mercados ya comenzaron el primero de noviembre y el Congreso aún debate si extender o no las ayudas.
