What changes for Colorado Springs enrollees in 2027
- Smaller credits, and a cliff at 400%. With the enhanced credits gone, a single adult in Colorado Springs earning $35,000 is expected to pay about $219/mo toward the benchmark Silver plan in 2027 (credit $199/mo). Earn over $63,840 and there is no credit at all, so at today's $418 benchmark you would pay full price — see what else changed.
- Compare before you renew. If you do nothing you are usually re-enrolled, but Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and other Colorado Springs carriers can change premiums, networks and drug lists for 2027. Shop again before December 15, and update your 2027 income estimate so you are not repaying credit at tax time.
- Medicaid: Colorado expanded Medicaid, so adults earning up to 138% of the poverty level — about $22,025 a year for a single adult in 2026 — usually qualify for Medicaid instead of a marketplace plan, and can apply any time of year.
