Subject 282,000 Marylanders Can't Afford a 13.7% Premium Increase — Please Act

Healthcare coverage should be something Maryland families can actually afford to keep. Right now, that's at risk. Maryland insurers just filed for an average 13.7% premium increase on individual marketplace plans for 2027 — the kind of jump that pushes people off their coverage entirely. That affects roughly 282,000 Marylanders who are already stretching their budgets. When premiums spike that high, families don't shop around — they go uninsured. Then a single emergency becomes a financial crisis.

The Maryland Insurance Administration announced these proposed rate increases on June 26, 2026, and now has months to review and approve or reject them. That review window is exactly the moment our state legislators can make their voices heard. Federal tax credits have helped keep coverage within reach for many Marylanders, but they don't automatically absorb a hike this large — and if those credits are reduced or eliminated at the federal level, the squeeze gets even worse. The families most at risk are people who buy their own coverage because they're self-employed, work part-time, or their employer doesn't offer a plan. They have no fallback.

I'm asking you to publicly call on the Maryland Insurance Administration to reject or substantially reduce the proposed 13.7% premium increase before it takes effect in 2027.

Hi, I'm a constituent from [your city/town]. I'm calling about the proposed 13.7% health insurance premium hike that Maryland insurers just filed for 2027.
That increase would hit about 282,000 Marylanders who buy their own coverage — people who are self-employed, work part-time, or just don't get insurance through a job. A jump that big pushes real people off their plans.
The Maryland Insurance Administration is reviewing these rates right now, and there's still time to push back. I'd like the representative to publicly urge the MIA to reject or significantly cut this increase.
Affordable coverage is something Maryland families are counting on their state leaders to protect — and I vote.
