Iowa Health Insurance Costs Rising | Des Moines News

Health insurance in Iowa is set for steep hikes next year, with some plans seeing up to 17% increases—following last year’s double-digit jumps. Rising medical costs and surging usage are key drivers, but the real shocker? The end of expanded ACA subsidies, which Congress failed to renew. Already, about 20% of Iowans with ACA plans dropped coverage after those subsidies vanished. The Iowa Insurance Division is now accepting public comments and holding a hearing on August 20th. While some increases are eye-popping, most Iowans may still face smaller hikes than the national average of 14%. The drop in enrollment signals a troubling trend as affordability slips away.
