What happened
Health care inflation is occurring, and independent insurance brokers note friction between what insurance companies seek to be paid and what medical providers charge for services. Insurers are proposing double-digit premium increases for ACA Marketplace plans in 2027, with the nonprofit KFF reporting a median proposed increase of 15% for 2027 premiums.

Why it matters
The proposed premium increases and ongoing healthcare inflation could lead to higher costs for consumers seeking health insurance. Consumers are advised to review their coverage, including doctors, hospitals, and prescription medications, rather than automatically renewing a current plan.
