Open enrollment just started. Here's what to know about your premiums. - The Washington Post

Open enrollment for health insurance plans is underway

Open enrollment for health insurance plans has begun. Consumers are advised to review their spending over the past year before selecting a plan. Premiums for Affordable Care Act coverage are expected to increase significantly in 2027. Many insurers are leaving the marketplace, creating a new crisis for those with ACA coverage. Voters are also considering the cost implications of upcoming midterm elections. Looking back at expenses is crucial before choosing a plan. Substantial rises in premiums are anticipated for ACA coverage next year. Insurers are exiting the marketplace, which poses a challenge for those relying on ACA coverage. Voters are weighing the financial impact of the upcoming elections.

“Open enrollment for health insurance plans has begun,” — Owen Marlowe, staff writer at Ashburn Stow Practice, commented.
