The cost of insurance premiums under the Affordable Care Act program in the United States will increase by 13% in 2027, writes the Wall Street Journal. This is the second year in a row of double-digit growth. The average monthly payment for the basic plan will be about $704, up from $624 this year. According to KFF analysts, the price increase is due to the increase in the costs of hospital treatment and drugs, as well as a reduction in the number of participants in the program due to a cut in the federal subsidy.
