Employer health insurance costs expected to rise about 11% in 2027
🚨🚨🚨 NATIONALLY, unsubsidized #ACA premiums are set to jump an *additional* 15% in 2027: acasignups.net/rate_changes...
There are several caveats, and these are only preliminary, but it looks like those ACA individual market health insurance market enrollees who DON'T qualify for federal tax credits can expect to be hit w/an additional ~$113/mo in premiums alone next year, or over $1,300/year more apiece on average.
Maybe you could talk more about health care in Texas, @ginafortexas.bsky.social
Fuck this fucking fucked up piece of shit country
That increase is the cost of our wealthiest citizens refusing to pay their fair share of taxes, which results in many of our working citizens not being able to afford adequate healthcare.
Charles, not sure if you've seen this, information re changes affecting Connect for Health Colorado. Note: "Beginning in Plan Year 2027, Connect for Health Colorado will offer both on-exchange and off-exchange plans through the same platform." connectforhealthco.app.box.com/s/s3jnsr3h6f...
If only the United States had lawmakers as smart as those in almost every other country on earth who’ve figured out how to provide healthcare to their citizenry. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Univers...
“Large and small employers are bracing for what looks to be the sharpest increase in health care costs in more than two decades. The cost per worker is projected to go up an average of 11 percent next year, or somewhat lower if workers’ insurance benefits are reduced”
“The upshot is that about 160 million people under 65 who rely on employers for health insurance will again confront higher costs and shoulder more of the burden. More and more, workers are facing year-over-year increases that further stress household budgets”
Ours went up by way more than that, plus it’s crappier insurance. 👍🏻
