Governor Tony Evers announced that health insurance rates on HealthCare.gov in Wisconsin are set to increase dramatically for 2026, with some policies experiencing rises of 45% to 800%. This surge is attributed to the expiration of enhanced federal subsidies that have been in place since 2021, which have significantly lowered premiums for many residents. Without these subsidies, millions of Americans may find health insurance unaffordable, potentially leading to a drop in coverage.
