Premiums for those buying Marketplace plans under the Affordable Care Act are expected to rise by a median of 14% next year, marking a second consecutive year of double-digit increases. This trend could further strain individuals and families already feeling the pinch of higher healthcare costs. The sustained rise in premiums underscores the ongoing challenges in maintaining affordable healthcare, raising questions about the long-term sustainability of the ACA and its impact on access to care.
