I cannot seem to be able to bring this quote here but it says that Mississippi increase in Obamacare will be 1376% increase there after January 1st. West Virginia 1058% increase. Texas will be 905% increase in Obamacare premiums per month which means most people on Obamacare in those states won't be able to afford these premiums anymore. I'm sorry the article isn't allowing me to copy these graph here for some reason. Likely the Government doesn't want people to know this.
begin quote from CBS news:
Here's how much ACA premiums would have risen this year without tax subsidies
Millions of Americans are bracing for higher health costs in 2026, as subsidies that help them pay for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act are set to expire on December 31.
Experts warn that a failure in Congress to extend the tax credits could be financially devastating for individual policyholders, while also raising health care costs as a whole. Roughly 22 million Americans receive the ACA subsidies, which were created in 2021 to lower households' monthly premiums.
New data from investment adviser SmartAsset projects how much people around the U.S. with an ACA plan would have paid on average for coverage in 2025 if they hadn't received the enhanced subsidies. As the analysis shows, monthly premiums for the government health insurance would've been hundreds of dollars higher.
In Mississippi, where around 11% of residents are enrolled in an ACA plan, participants would have seen their average monthly premiums jump from $41 to $605, a 1,376% increase, SmartAsset found. In West Virginia, enrollees' premiums would have risen an average of 1,058%.
A spokesperson for SmartAsset said the analysis captures 2025 costs, but noted the data amounts to a "close approximation" of how much more people with ACA coverage could expect to pay next year without the tax credits.
SmartAsset used public records from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' 2025 Marketplace Op
