ACA Marketplace premiums jumped 20% nationally for 2026, but state-level changes range from –3% to 67%. MoneyGeek’s analysis of all 50 states and Washington, D.C., finds that the variation stems from three policy choices: Medicaid expansion, reinsurance programs, and state-run marketplaces. States with these protections experienced measurably lower premium growth.

Top increases: Arkansas (+66.7%), New Mexico (+50.7%), Tennessee (+38.4%), Mississippi (+37.2%), and Texas (+34.2%).

The South averaged +29% compared with +9% in the Northeast.
