💨 Abstract

In the U.S., the expiration of COVID-era enhanced tax credits for Affordable Care Act (ACA) coverage is set to significantly increase health insurance costs for millions of Americans in 2026. A Wisconsin couple, Chad and Kelley Bruns, will face a substantial increase in their premiums, forcing them to switch to a plan with a much higher deductible. A Michigan family, the Roofs, plans to forgo insurance altogether due to unaffordable premiums.
