Per the Kaiser Family Foundation, “expiration of the enhanced premium tax credits is estimated to more than double what subsidized enrollees currently pay annually for premiums — a 114% increase from an average of $888 in 2025 to $1,904 in 2026.” On a monthly basis — which is how health insurance premiums are commonly quoted, billed, and paid — these figures show that Obamacare recipients currently pay an average of $74/month for health insurance, and if the enhanced subsidies expire, they will pay an average of $159, an increase of $85 per month. Media outlets like CNN and politicians like Dick Durbin, Bernie Sanders, and Ilhan Omar have cited percentage and yearly increases while ignoring pivotal facts that negate their claims, like the average monthly figures.
