flag Virginia health premiums may surge next year as federal subsidies expire, risking coverage for up to 30% of marketplace enrollees.

flag Health insurance premiums in Virginia could rise sharply next year as federal pandemic-era subsidies expire, potentially increasing costs by up to $834 monthly in Roanoke and $739 in Henrico County, threatening coverage for an estimated 25% to 30% of the 415,000 residents using the state’s marketplace. flag Without congressional action, average premiums may increase by $96.09 monthly, with higher-income enrollees facing the largest hikes. flag While Republican lawmakers in the House opposed extending the credits in a recent stopgap bill, some expressed interest in a temporary fix, though Democrats, including Senators Kaine and Warner, urge immediate action and reject delayed solutions. flag The Senate now faces the challenge of passing a funding bill with an extension, requiring bipartisan support to overcome a filibuster, as open enrollment begins November 1 and insurers have already requested a 20.5% average premium increase.
