1. Aumento Exponencial de las Primas de Seguros de Salud.
El documento destaca un incremento alarmante en las primas de seguros de salud, superando con creces la inflación general y los aumentos salariales, lo que genera una carga financiera insostenible para individuos y empresas.
- I hear premiums in 2026 are going to be 75 higher due to the fear that healthy people may opt to go without.
- Not to mention inflation - the premiums increased 24 just this year for the small company i work for. Twenty-four percent in one year. Its impoverishing individuals and small businesses. Unsustainable.
- Massive health insurance inflation is coming. Voters are going to be very angry. Ft for people who buy health insurance on government exchanges, the median increase for 2026 is 18 more than double last years 7 rise.
- My health insurance is going up by 6 in 2026. Thats much higher than inflation. The affordable care act is a failure!
- I just got my prospectus for next years health insurance plan. I am actually shocked. The copay to see an in-network specialist is currently 40. In 2026, it is going to be 70! thats what you call inflation.
- Since my health insurance went up 500 per month, am i right to understand my cost has increased at a rate of 6,00 annually? if thats the case, am i right that inflation for me is likely higher than 2.7?
2. La Desconexión entre la Inflación Reportada y la Realidad del Consumidor.
Muchos usuarios expresan escepticismo sobre las cifras oficiales de inflación, argumentando que sus gastos esenciales, especialmente en salud, vivienda y alimentos, aumentan a un ritmo mucho mayor de lo que indican los informes gubernamentales.
- The big problem is that inflation isnt 3 for working families. Comparable health insurance has gone from 8 of my income to about 25. Im an established self-employed professional and im about to crash out of the insurance system. Real inflation is about 15 for working people today.
- It doesnt matter. For those of us caught in this mess, with insurance premiums jumping - mine is going up 850 a month! - and unable to find full time employment, especially with inflation rising 2.7?? seriously? who believes that? its no wonder consumer sentiment is low.
- Charlie makes a good point about how some of the inflation reports are so badly designed as to be laughable. The government thinks health insurance is 19 cheaper than 5 years ago and yet united health keeps raising prices 12 per year actual health insurance premiums are up over 20 in this time.
- Home insurance premiums, aca premiums. These dont show up in inflation statistics, but they definitely impact a large number of americans.
- My home owners insurance bill. It has gone up 25 from last year. The reason they said it went up is the cost of materials to rebuild or replace have gone up exponentially. Yet we have low inflation? my health insurance went up 13 from last year. And he says we have no inflation.
- Is the inflation report a lie? im not sure how we can trust any numbers anymore. My personal inflation report is in my god, what do i do now territory. Mostly thanks to health insurance.
3. El Rol de las Subvenciones de la ACA y su Expiración.
La inminente expiración de las subvenciones ampliadas de la Ley de Atención Médica Asequible (ACA) se identifica como un factor clave que impulsará aún más el aumento de las primas, dejando a millones de personas en riesgo de perder su cobertura o enfrentar costos inmanejables.
- And just for fun, all the subsidies for the aca run out in december, so policies are expected to rise 75. That should do wonders for peoples pocketbooks.
- Subsidies for the affordable care act. My wife and son are on it, and im not prepared for the 2026 cost updates. Itll make inflation look like a fluffy kitty.
- If your health insurance bill is exploding right now, its not inflation. In atlanta, premiums jumped 495. Trump and republicans chose to let aca subsidies expire. Millions are paying the price.
- 3 do not blame this on inflation. Insurers raised base rates by about 26 percent. Consumers are seeing increases over 100 percent. That gap is caused by the loss of aca subsidies.
- Not looking good for obamacare - premiums have risen at 3x inflation - subsidies for those earning up to 600k have numbed the pain - those subsidies will soon disappear as premiums rise a further 26, revealing the full cost to wealthier enrollees.
- The inflation reduction act offers health insurance subsidies that lower costs. Without them, millions may face steeper premiums and lose access to needed healthcare.
4. Múltiples Factores Impulsores de los Costos (Más allá de la Inflación General).
El texto identifica una variedad de causas para el aumento de los costos, incluyendo la "greedflation", la "shrinkflation", los aranceles, los costos de infraestructura, el retraso en la atención médica debido a la pandemia, los nuevos medicamentos y la consolidación de la industria.
- Furthermore, theres a whole lot more than just inflation to consider. Costs of healthcare, education, housing, food, etc have risen substantially separate from inflation. Greedflation and shrinkflation, if you will.
- Mm im a health insurance broker and hes not lying. The actuaries have told us that delayed care from the covid shut down, rx scripts for weight loss vs. Diabetes, and the anticipation of the losses coming from the bb act are all factors. We were in for this inflation regardless.
- Ive noticed other insurance providers raising prices also. Seems they dont want to miss out on extra money. Just as the greed-flation companies admitted to during conference calls with stockholders.
