What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Regulators in Maryland approved average 14.6% premium increases for individual health insurance plans purchased through the state marketplace for 2027. This increase follows a 13.4% average increase approved for 2026. The premium hikes are needed as enhanced federal tax credits expired, which had helped keep costs down for consumers. About 274,000 Marylanders buy individual plans through the state’s Affordable Care Act marketplace.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The increases are intended to help insurance companies remain solvent and cover rising healthcare and prescription drug costs. Without the enhanced federal tax credits, experts warn that some Marylanders may struggle to afford coverage or may be forced to choose plans with fewer benefits.
