The Affordable Care Act health care plan premium subsidies were ended before the 2026 enrollment period and won’t be in place in 2027 to help those on the lower end of the income scale get some help with keeping their plans -but with help from the General Assembly there are state subsidies that Virginians can take advantage of during the current open enrollment period. The General Assembly passed legislation in the most recent session that can cut health care insurance premiums for income-eligible families or individuals that live between 138 percent and 250 percent below the federal poverty level. Its called “Virginia Premium Savings.”
Democrats set to take over both chambers of Congress in January after last week’s resounding election win and many who ran for election said restoring the federal tax credits that were eliminated in HR-1, the Big Beautiful Bill, is on their agenda. Open enrollment for those shopping health care plans for 2027 ends January 29. More from WFIR’s Gene Marrano:
