All health costs are up bigly.
Coverage for pre-existing conditions is huge for those of us on the ACA. It was a nightmare before the ACA.
Note that employer health plans do not discriminate for pre-existing conditions. It's only fair that privately purchased plans shouldn't, either.
Yah, an average of 18% excluding the increase due to loss of subsidies, and a big chunk of that is healthy people deciding to drop medical care. The individual mandate is necessary to really lower costs IIRC.
No matter how we work it, we end up with a bastard quilt of medical care coverages, with many folks falling into the no health care zone, and others straining to retain health care.
