Based on related reporting.
Related reporting from New York and New Jersey describes projected premium increases if enhanced ACA tax credits expire, but the excerpts give state-specific estimates and do not establish a national increase of 75%. New York’s October 21, 2025, announcement projected an average 38% increase for affected enrollees; New Jersey reporting published December 6, 2025, gave examples ranging from over 100% to 222% for a family of four.[S1][S2]
