Colorado health insurance premiums to double, 75,000 may lose coverage

Colorado Health Insurance Premiums to Double

Health insurance rates for low- and middle-income Coloradans are set to double in 2026, with a statewide net average premium increase of 101%, according to the Colorado Division of Insurance.

This increase is likely to result in 75,000 Coloradans losing their health insurance coverage due to unaffordability.

The primary cause of the increase is the expiration of premium tax credits under the Affordable Care Act, which were available to those who purchased health insurance through Connect for Health Colorado.

The tax credits are set to expire on December 1, following the federal budget passed by the Republican-led Congress in July.
