Insurers’ Marketplace plans sold through Healthcare.gov are projected to cost more in 2027, with multiple outlets citing a new report that forecasts another double-digit premium increase for people enrolled in Obamacare plans. One report says the average cost could rise by 13% in 2027, following a prior jump of 26% from 2025 to 2026.
The outlets largely focus on what the increase means for enrollees. One publication emphasizes the size of the projected premium rise and the consecutive-year pattern. Another highlights likely downstream effects, framing the increases as potentially eroding enrollment, while still centering the same expectation of a double-digit hike for 2027. Both stories draw from the same general reporting about the forecast, though they stress different implications.
