Federal pandemic subsidies for ACA plans ended, causing major premium hikes and coverage risks.
Federal pandemic-era subsidies for Affordable Care Act marketplace plans expired at the end of 2025, triggering sharp premium increases for millions of Americans, especially middle-income individuals in high-cost areas.
Without extension, premiums could rise by over 100%, pushing many to drop coverage or switch to high-deductible plans, risking underinsurance.
The House passed a three-year subsidy extension, but the Senate is considering a shorter, restricted version, creating uncertainty.
Experts warn the move undermines market stability, increases hospital costs, and threatens early retirement plans.
While subsidies provide short-term relief, they do not address underlying drivers of rising health care costs, such as consolidation and fee-for-service models.
