A 28-year-old person in Orange County who earns $35,000 a year will see the monthly cost of the typical silver-tier plan rise from $130 to $290, according to estimates from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation. The typical family of four with a household income of $85,000 would see their monthly cost go from $489 to $901.

These increases are happening in order to pay for Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthy.

People dependent on the ACA/Obamacare marketplaces are typically less wealthy than the local median. Florida household median income by family size is:

  • 1 person - $65,801
  • 2 people - $81,109
  • 3 people - $93,983
  • 4 people - $107,712

    The people seeing the biggest dollar increases will be those above 400% of poverty level - $62,600 for singles, $128,600 family of 4 - because the “Big Beautiful Bill” brings back the cap on ACA subsidies. In my area, the benchmark ‘SLCSP’ is $1150/month (single). 2025, someone making $70k would have paid $560 for that, after tax credits; 2026, they’re on the hook for the whole bill. Family of 4 making $130k is going to pay $3045/month in 2026; would have paid $1030 in 2025.

    There’s big percentage changes up and down the scale, but bringing back “the cliff” essentially targets self-employed people who are finally getting ahead.
