Significant Health Insurance Premium Increases Expected in Colorado for 2026

Health insurance premiums for plans purchased through Connect for Health Colorado are projected to rise significantly in 2026 due to federal policy changes. Residents in Colorado are advised to prepare for these increases and review their coverage options accordingly. Financial assistance may remain available through the Colorado Premium Assistance Program, specifically for individuals and households earning up to 400% of the federal poverty level, although final eligibility criteria are pending.
