Enhanced Premium tax credits

2025 KFF Marketplace Enrollees Survey

If the amount they pay in premiums doubled, about one in three enrollees in Affordable Care Act Marketplace health plans say they would be “very likely” to look for a lower-premium Marketplace plan.

An image of text is an excerpt form Larry Levitt's quick take which reads, "While the enhanced ACA premium tax credits expire at the end of this year, there is no absolute drop-dead date for extending them. ACA enrollees would welcome premium relief whenever it comes."

There is No Drop-Dead Date for an ACA Tax Credit Extension, But Coverage Losses Will Mount as the Clock Ticks

A discharge petition in the House paves the way for a vote on a three-year extension of the tax credits, which would provide ACA enrollees premium relief whenever it comes. While there is still time to extend the enhanced tax credits, with each passing day, more and more ACA Marketplace enrollees are going to drop their health insurance when faced with eye-popping increases in their premium payments, writes KFF’s Larry Levitt.
