DescriptionAverage premiums for individual insurance plans on the national exchange created by the Affordable Care Act will be down next year after major spikes in 2017 and 2018.

According to a new report by the The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the price for a benchmark "silver" plan through the federal HealthCare.gov site will be an average of 1.5 percent lower in 2019 after rising 37 percent in 2018.

Democrats countered that the premiums would be even lower absent moves by the administration that experts say likely increased them.
