Rising premiums have this Covered California enrollee rethinking his care

California health insurance premiums are set to rise as pandemic-era Obamacare subsidies are still scheduled to expire at year’s end, pending a December Senate vote. Covered California enrollee Clyde Sharikova-Sudarma says he will pay more despite downgrading his plan and may skip needed screenings for a recurring brain tumor. Covered California estimates nearly 400,000 of its almost two million enrollees will be affected, facing an average 97% premium increase. Officials warn some Californians may go uninsured without congressional action.
