Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — The State’s Superintendent of Insurance warning to consumers earlier this year to prepare for “significant increases” after President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” passed, might be coming to fruition. About 75,000 New Mexicans who buy coverage through the state’s health insurance exchange will see health insurance rates increase between 35% and 52% starting in January. The steepest increase will be felt by the highest earners – families of four making above $128,600 with individual plans from UnitedHealthcare – whose rates will increase 52%. According to the Superintendent of Insurance most customers buying through the BeWell exchange – 88%, or about 66,000 customers – qualify for some premium assistance.
