Deadline tonight: Enroll now for ACA health insurance or risk going uninsured

With pandemic-era tax credits expiring, premiums have more than doubled on average, forcing many to downgrade plans or risk going uninsured, independent health policy group KFF said.

  • Dec 15, 2025 is the deadline to enroll for Affordable Care Act marketplace plans that start Jan. 1, affecting millions of enrollees.
  • Lawmakers are at an impasse over extending pandemic-era ACA tax credits before the end of the year, while House Speaker Mike Johnson's plan does not extend those subsidies and includes PBM reforms.
  • Missing the Monday deadline allows enrollment until January 15th, but KFF finds 1 in 3 people expect to downgrade or go without coverage.
  • Some consumers face higher premiums, and Karen Davenport urged, `For consumers who have already enrolled, or who intend to enroll by Monday, they need to kind of block out the chaos.` Health experts advise undecided consumers to sign up before Dec 15, 2025, as plans can be canceled later.
  • Independent research including KFF shows premiums have more than doubled without pandemic-era tax credits, and experts say this doubling predicts enrollment declines as subsidies lapse.
