New federal changes are impacting how much consumers will pay for coverage in the upcoming plan year. Plans and prices change every year, however, due to federally imposed program updates, many consumers will see health plan costs rise in 2026. Specifically, federal enhanced premium tax credits that have made coverage more affordable for most enrollees since 2021, are expiring. As a result, available federal financial help is drastically decreasing. This will result in higher monthly premiums for many consumers. With the expiration of enhanced premium tax credits for 2026, it is more important than ever that consumers shop early and compare their plan options to find the right plan.
