## Resource

Pennsylvania’s healthcare costs are skyrocketing as ACA insurers demand average premium hikes of over 17%—a painful follow-up to last year’s 21% surge. With tax credits not renewed, many families saw bills jump two, three, or even four times. Nearly 200,000 residents have dropped coverage, risking higher costs for everyone. The state’s insurance department is reviewing filings to ensure hikes match actual healthcare expenses and won’t exceed what’s needed. Final rates will be released this fall. If you’re struggling, help is available—and you can voice your opinion until August 22 by emailing ra-in-comment@pa.gov.
