SoCal Matters
Covered CA's First Double-Digit Rate Hike in Nearly a Decade
Season 2025
Episode 442
Covered CA premiums rise 10.3% next year, the first double-digit hike since 2018, driven by higher costs and expiring aid. Officials warn of a $2B loss in tax credits if Congress doesn’t act; the state set aside $190M to cushion low-income enrollees and estimates up to 600,000 could drop coverage.
