Obamacare Prices Become Public, Highlighting Big Increases

The Trump administration on Wednesday posted a preview of next year’s Obamacare plans in 30 states, revealing steep premium hikes. Many enrollees currently rely on enhanced A.C.A. tax credits, scheduled to expire next year — a key sticking point in a shutdown nearing a month, with Democrats pushing an extension and Republican leaders unwilling to engage until government reopens. Consumers can window-shop now and begin selecting plans Saturday on healthcare.gov. Without renewed aid, some face dramatic jumps: Oregon retiree Sue Monahan’s monthly cost would rise from $439 to $1,059 for the same plan, with a $7,100 deductible.
