Millions Face Health Insurance Premium Hikes as ACA Support Ends
Starting in January 2026, millions of Americans using the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will see substantial increases in their health insurance premiums as enhanced government support expires. Despite facing financial challenges, many are choosing to forgo coverage altogether, opting to pay out of pocket for prescriptions and doctor visits. One such couple, Robert and Emily Sory, have been forced to drop their ACA coverage due to job losses. With limited income, they face rising medical costs, including $184 for three prescriptions without insurance.
