Obamacare Deductibles Jump $1,000 After GOP Congress Ended Tax Credits
Average deductibles for Affordable Care Act (ACA) health plans have surged by over $1,000 this year, reaching $3,786.

Major health insurers like Centene and UnitedHealth Group have reported significant drops in their ACA enrollment numbers. AI
