What's new in Michigan for 2027
All seven Michigan Marketplace insurers from 2026 are returning for 2027. The average proposed increase is about 14%.
Across the country, the median proposed 2027 premium increase is about 15% (Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker). The extra federal subsidies that capped premiums at 8.5% of income expired at the end of 2025, and the 400% of poverty "subsidy cliff" is back for 2027 (Congressional Research Service). That makes reviewing your plan and your income estimate more important than usual. See our 2027 subsidy income limits guide.
