Wait 3 more days till November 1 and then check prices in ACA marketplace.

Some have even begun receiving notification of price increases.


Sure. Mine is going from $1,487/mo (about 50% subsidy) to approximately $3,345/mo (no subsidy).
I'm not happy about it, obviously.

Prices are going up because the enhanced subsidies expire in 2025.
They were introduced by the Democrats, with no Republican votes, in 2021 as a TEMPORARY measure to help during the pandemic.
They were extended by the Democrats, with no Republican votes, in 2022, with an expiration date of 2025.

Why is this somehow the Republican's doing?
They say they are willing to talk about it, which is obviously not to be trusted, but that can be used against them if they do refuse.

Democrats are using this as an excuse to push back. As Steve says, it's the wrong hill...
