A
record 16.6 million Americans have signed up for health insurance for 2025
through the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, the Biden
administration said on Dec. 20.
Of
these consumers, 2 million are new enrollees. The Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) stated that those
who have signed up will receive up to a full year of coverage beginning Jan. 1,
2025.
CMS
said the figure, which reflects selections in the 31 states that use
HealthCare.gov, will keep the ACA “on track for a record high number of plan
selections” for this year’s open enrollment.
“The
record-breaking enrollment in Marketplace coverage speaks volumes about the
critical need for health care coverage,” CMS administrator Chiquita
Brooks-LaSure said in a statement.
Brooks-LaSure
called on Americans to quickly secure coverage through the ACA and take
advantage of the enhanced tax credits that are still available for 2025 to make
coverage more affordable.
CMS
has previously extended
the deadline for enrolling in the coverage plan that begins Jan. 1, 2025, from
Dec. 15 to Dec. 18. Enrollment for plan that begins in February 2025 is now
open until Jan. 15, 2025.
During
the 2024 open enrollment period, 21.3 million consumers signed up for health
coverage through the ACA, including 5 million new enrollees, according
to the agency.
Outgoing
President Joe Biden had earlier urged Congress to extend the ACA after a
Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report highlighted a potential surge in the
number of uninsured people if health care subsidies are removed. The ACA is set
to expire at the end of next year.
In
a Dec. 6 statement,
Biden said health care should not be considered “a privilege.”
“Millions
of Americans are benefiting from expanded premium tax credits that lower their
premiums. If Congress takes that benefit away, premiums will spike and 3.8
million people will become uninsured,” the president stated.
“That’s
simply wrong. The American people don’t deserve to see their health insurance
premiums skyrocket,” he added.
The
CBO stated in its report that
“healthier-than-average people will exit the marketplaces if the expanded
credits are no longer available,” which would result in insurers raising
premiums for the remaining enrollees.
According
to the report, the number of uninsured Americans would rise by 2.2 million if
the ACA is not extended through 2026, and by an average of 3.8 million each
year between 2026 and 2034.
The
report also stated that gross benchmark premiums could increase by 7.9 percent
on average over the 2026–2034 period if the ACA is removed, leading to more
people exiting the marketplace.
