In what was dubbed the "One Big Beautiful Bill" passed earlier this year, massive tax cuts are partially paid for by premium increases for those signing up for health insurance through the marketplace set up under the Affordable Care Act.  But, how much will those premiums increase? 

Its complicated! It depends on income and family size. Fortunately, the Kaiser Family Foundation has prepared charts (kff.org).  One of the charts is shown below: the additional amount a four-member family will have to pay in 2026.  The extra amount is the difference between the amount established during the Biden years in response to COVID-19 (Enhanced Tax Credits) versus the amount established in the OBBB (2026 Tax Credits). The amount varies by income, so, for example, a family earning $55,000 would have to pay an additional $2404 in 2026 for its health insurance.
