Premiums under Obamacare will jump by 13 percent next year, according to a report by Reed Abelson and Margot Sanger-Katz in The New York Times. The paper reported that much of the price increase will be offset by subsidies.
The New York Times reported that customers who earn over $64,000 will pay more, on top of this year’s “huge increases,” according to the summary of its story.
The New York Times headline states that Obamacare premiums are rising again, and the summary is consistent with that description, which places the new increase in a series of recent rises. The outlet did not describe the increase in the summary beyond the 13 percent figure, the offsetting subsidies, and the higher costs for customers earning over $64,000.
The summary also does not identify the reasons for the 13 percent increase. The New York Times reported the figure as an increase for next year, and the summary does not compare it with premium changes in earlier years.
Neither the number of customers in the group earning over $64,000 nor the dollar amount of the subsidies appears in the summary of the report. Readers seeking those figures would need to consult the full New York Times article.
The New York Times story carries a publication date of October 30, 2026.
