The subsidy cliff
In 2026 the enhanced ARP/IRA premium tax credits expire, so households above roughly 400% of the federal poverty level get zero subsidy and pay the full sticker prices listed above. Households under the cliff usually pay far less — how much less depends on income, household size, and county benchmark.
