The New York Times reports average Affordable Care Act Marketplace premiums will rise about 13 percent in 2027 for millions of enrollees, building on an earlier steep increase. The paper says the increase adds to a financial toll that has already driven millions to drop coverage since last year. Officials released the premium numbers as a data file on a Friday afternoon, and a government open-enrollment fact sheet published shortly afterward did not mention the premium jump. Coverage on Healthcare.gov plans is expected to see double-digit cost increases next year. Advocates and some enrollees say the spike will force plan switches or reduced coverage for people already stretched by higher costs.
