During the Covid-19 pandemic in 2021, Congressional Democrats and President Biden enacted a law that significantly increased Obamacare subsidies. Before this occurred, taxpayers bore 83% of the premium costs of subsidized Obamacare plans, while Obamacare recipients paid just 17%. Obamacare recipients are currently paying an average of only $74 per month for health insurance, and if the enhanced subsidies expire, they will pay an average of $159.
