Here’s How Much Obamacare Prices Are Rising Across the Country

Newly posted prices for next year’s Obamacare plans show steep premium hikes, especially if temporary subsidies expire at year’s end. KFF’s analysis of marketplace rates finds free coverage for the lowest earners could vanish, with typical bills rising to $27–$82 a month; those around $35,000 would see costs jump from $86 to $218. Older buyers near $65,000 face the sharpest spikes, including a 60 year old in southern Illinois going from $460 to $2,800. Extending subsidies would cost $23 billion next year, a flashpoint in the nearly monthlong shutdown standoff.
