Insurers Request Huge Obamacare Rate Hikes, Many Over 20%
Medical care costs are surging already. A big leap is coming.
Health Care Shock Coming
The Wall Street Journal reports Obamacare Insurers Seek Double-Digit Premium Hikes Next Year
If you buy your own health insurance, you are probably going to pay more next year—a lot more.
Insurers are seeking hefty 2026 rate increases for Affordable Care Act marketplace plans, the coverage known as Obamacare. Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Illinois wants a 27% hike, while its sister Blue Cross plan in Texas is asking for 21%. The largest ACA plans in Washington state, Georgia and Rhode Island are all looking for premiums to surge more than 20%.
The companies say the big increases are needed because of higher healthcare costs and changing federal policy, including cuts to subsidies that help consumers pay for plans. The higher premiums would come after years of enrollment growth and mostly single-digit rate increases in the Obamacare market, where individuals and families buy insurance for themselves. About 24 million people have ACA plans.
At the request of The Wall Street Journal, the health-research nonprofit KFF analyzed the rate requests for the largest ACA plans by enrollment in 17 states where the insurers’ filings have already become public, as well as the District of Columbia. They showed that some of the biggest national ACA players, including Centene and Elevance Health, are seeking double-digit increases in several states. The Blue Cross & Blue Shield plans of Texas and Illinois are both owned by Health Care Service, a giant nonprofit.
Most Obamacare enrollees’ monthly insurance bills will go up substantially next year because of reductions in federal subsidies that help pay for their coverage. Enhanced payments passed by Congress in 2021 will lapse at the end of December. The drop-off in subsidies is both helping to drive higher premiums and making it harder for many consumers to pay them.
Some people “are going to be hit with this double whammy” of bigger monthly insurance bills and losing the subsidy that blunts their cost, said Cynthia Cox, a vice president at KFF.
In rate filings, some insurers said tariffs could add to the cost of drugs and medical supplies.

Europe's Online Censorship Laws Could Restrict Americans Too, Analysts Say
For many Americans, talk of a crackdown in Europe on “hate speech” and “misinformation” may seem a faraway issue, but legal experts say that Europe’s online censorship laws could affect Americans, too.Starting July 1, social media companies and internet service providers operating within the EU that do not comply with laws that ban content deemed illegal there could be fined up to 6 percent of their global revenue, according to the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA).
The European Commission states that the DSA, originally passed in 2022, “protects consumers and their fundamental rights online by setting clear and proportionate rules.” On July 1, the DSA integrated its Code of Conduct into the act, requiring online platforms and search engines to comply with the censorship laws of all member states or face punitive fines.
Proponents of the DSA state that the law was passed in response to escalating cases of anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim statements in Europe.
Meanwhile, critics, like Virginie Joron, a French member of the European Parliament, have called it a “Trojan horse for surveillance and control.”
“What was sold as the Digital Services Act is increasingly functioning as a Digital Surveillance Act,” Joron told attendees at a May conference hosted by the Alliance Defending Freedom.
Joron accused the European Commission and some parliamentarians of having “seized upon the DSA as a political tool to control speech, particularly targeting platforms like X, Facebook, and Telegram.”
The concern among policy experts is that Europe’s speech laws could compel online platforms to institute restrictive policies worldwide, in order to comply.
“The DSA generally cannot directly compel technology companies to censor American speech, but it creates an incentive to do so,” David Inserra, a fellow for free expression and technology at the Cato Institute, told The Epoch Times.
“At some point, companies may find it easier just to change their policies to align with more restrictive laws, thus having American speech effectively regulated by Brussels—thus the name the ‘Brussels effect.’”

Democrats Continue To Flounder As Approval Ratings Sink To All Time Lows
How low can they go? Democrat Party politicians are proving that the gutter is truly the limit and even their own voting base has little regard for their leadership.
According to recent polling by Quinnipiac University, just 19% of voters questioned give Democrats in Congress a thumbs up on how they're handling their duties, with 72% disapproving. The poll also revealed that 39% of registered Democrats approve of the way their party representatives in Congress are handling their jobs, with 52% disapproving and 9% not offering an opinion.
Donald Trump was hit in the same poll with 63% of voters disapproving of his handling of the Epstein files and Republicans in Congress did not do well either. However, Trump and Republicans still received 77% approval from their voter base; nearly double that of Democrats.
The data follows a similar trend in a Harvard CAPS/Harris poll released on Monday that found that only 4 in 10 respondents approved of the job that the Democratic Party is doing, a slight drop from June.
Polling in March by CNN and SSRS found that the Democratic Party’s favorability rating among Americans stands at a record low. Democratic-aligned adults, 52% to 48%, say that the leadership of the Democratic Party is currently taking the party in the wrong direction.
Among the American public overall, the Democratic Party’s favorability rating stands at just 29% – a record low in CNN’s polling dating back to 1992 and a drop of 20 points since January 2021.
The progressive media argues that the Democrat base wants party leaders to "confront Trump's agenda more aggressively" and "fight harder". More moderate Dems note, though, that the party was in steep decline well before Trump won the 2024 election and returned to office.
A October 2023 Gallup poll showed the Democratic Party's overall approval at 37%, a record low at that time, and this was at the height of Democrat power and influence in government. The bottom line? Democrat policies are wildly unpopular and their embrace of the radical woke movement did irreparable damage to their optics.
The adoption of far-left ideological goals, the promotion of transgender ideology among young children, the application of racist DEI policies in government institutions, not to mention the party running Kamala Harris, perhaps the worst candidate ever fielded in a presidential campaign - All of these decisions and more have left moderates and independents in confusion and disgust. These are the very voters the Dems need to make gains in 2026.
Democrats are looking to the 2026 mid-term elections with the desperate hope that the controversy over the Epstein files and Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" will stick long enough for them to make significant gains in the House and Senate and erase the narrow margin Republicans currently hold.
The problem is that, even with a contingent of MAGA in revolt against Trump's recent decisions, conservatives and moderates are still enraged by the Democrat Party's handling of the country during the Biden Administration. So enraged that they would be willing to forgive almost anything in 2026 just to keep the leftists from returning to power. The Dems are greatly underestimating how much hate they have garnered in the last four years.
