Newsweek - Democratic New York Governor Kathy Hochul has slammed Republicans after health care premiums increased significantly for more than 100,000 New Yorkers. Around 140,000 in the state will experience heightened health care costs if the GOP continues to block the extension of existing enhanced premium tax credits....
Hundreds of thousands of New York residents rely on Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies for more affordable health coverage.
The ACA subsidies are the main source of contention between Republicans and Democrats in Congress—which are at a standstill over the current funding bill—triggering the larger government shutdown, and there's still no resolution in sight.
New York residents will see their health insurance premiums increase by an average of 38 percent next year, according to Hochul’s office. That amounts to an average yearly increase of $1,400 for individuals and $3,000 for couples.
