When ACA open enrollment opens on Nov. 1, millions of young adults will discover that their already difficult economic situations may get much worse in the new year. Premiums are set to skyrocket, roughly doubling on average, for the 24 million people enrolled in plans under the Affordable Care Act’s health insurance marketplaces. That is, unless Democrats get their way in the fight over the government shutdown, which hinges on health care access and affordability.

Enhanced tax credits work by further lowering the share of income ACA Marketplace enrollees pay for a plan. For example, with the enhanced tax credits in place, an individual making $28,000 will pay no more than around 1% ($325) of their annual income towards a benchmark plan. If the enhanced tax credits expire, this same individual would pay nearly 6% of their income ($1,562 annually) towards a benchmark plan in 2026. In other words, if the enhanced tax credits expire, this individual would experience an increase of $1,238 in their annual premium payments net of the tax credit.
