Report: Obamacare Premiums Largely Unaffected by Expiring Biden-Era Enhanced Credits

Breitbart-

Expiring Biden-era enhanced Obamacare credits minimally impacted total 2026 premiums, countering a Democrat narrative that the expiration of these credits is responsible for health insurance price increases.

Democrats have shut down the government over the looming expiration of the Biden-era enhanced Obamacare credits. The credits were first enhanced under President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion, coronavirus-era stimulus plan, the American Rescue Plan. Democrats then temporarily extended these credits under the so-called Inflation Reduction Act.

According to the Paragon Health Institute, 2026 benchmark rate filings have revealed that the expiration of Biden coronavirus-era credits “accounts for only 4 percent of the expected 20 percent average premium increase next year.”

“In other words, the sharp jump in premiums cannot be blamed on the phase-out of the enhanced subsidies. The real drivers are the same structural flaws that have plagued Obamacare since 2014 and rising health care costs,” Gabrielle Kalisz explained, the program manager for the Paragon Institute, wrote. more

  1. Did you hear?
    After a year of pushing the Blue Retard Juice, Alex Jones has switched again and now wants your monthly money for his Red Retard Juice. Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes are regularly circle jerking for it.

    BTW, on wiki, not grok yet, there is a picture of a brain on blue retard juice administered just before death. It dyed the brain blue.

    Think about that.

    Alex Jones is an evil turd. So is anyone that promotes him.
    Do not fall for the Red Retard Juice either.

  2. No, the premiums are staying about the same (although my health insurance friend said that they have NOT been told next year’s rates yet!). It’s the subsidies which are expiring, which pay something like 80% of the cost for those who qualify. Not me – I have always had to pay the full, much higher, rate thanks to 0-care. But those in lower income households will see the amount they have to pay go up 4-5x. And that’s because 0-care was designed that way, in particular because the absolute intent was to get to this place earlier and force ‘Medicare For All’ on the nation.

  3. Once again, and I hate to sound like a broken record, but the republicans had a chance to end this obamacare bullshit. But OOOOHHHHH NNNOOOOO they had to fuck over Trump.

  4. LCD – Exactly. Obamacare was a nice sounding “Label” with the word “Care” in it to condone and disguise the real Treasury theft that was going on behind the scenes… (a license to steal) that every tax payer paid for!

  5. If it weren’t for Paul Ryan and a sizable chunk of the Republican establishment there would be no Obamacare. Paul Ryan was the point man on the ratfucking of the American people operation. Never forget that.
