As Credits Are Set to Expire, Poll Shows Most ACA Exchange Participants Can't Afford Even Modest Increases in Health Costs

A new survey of Americans currently enrolled in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace finds that most would not be able to afford even modest increases in costs. The poll comes as tax credits intended to help some on the program afford their health expenses are just weeks away from expiring. According to KFF, which administered the poll, if no action is taken to remedy the situation, premium payments will increase, on average, by 114 percent for 22 million Americans currently receiving those tax credits. Collectively, those individuals and families will likely see costs increase by $23 billion over the next year alone.
