Here's how much Obamacare premiums will Increase in 2018

As the Senate prepares to unveil its replacement plan for the Affordable Care Act, states are beginning to release estimates for how much ACA insurance plans will cost in 2018.

Preliminary analysis suggests some of the most popular plans could see double-digit premium increases. Health care consulting firm Avalere analyzed initial rate estimates from eight states and found that premiums for "silver" plans (the most popular plans) are rising 18% next year, after a 12% increase this year.

On top of that, 41% of counties in the U.S. will have just one insurer option on the marketplace.

And while in past years subsidies to help certain people pay for their plans increased with premiums, it's all but unclear if that payment structure will continue. The House draft of the AHCA bases subsidies solely on age; there's no indication that this new structure would offset premium increases.

What will happen to the ACA is all but unclear; what is clear, however, is that consumers are likely going to bear a costly burden while Washington figures it out.
