My colleague @nicolerapfogel.bsky.social and have a new blog on the final ACA marketplace rule for 2027, which weakens consumer protections and pushes people towards lower-quality plans that put them at risk of higher out-of-pocket costs. www.cbpp.org/blog/new-fin...
I was out last week. Maybe you were, too? ICYMI, great recap from my colleague @nicolerapfogel.bsky.social of what we learned from the recent CMS #ACA marketplace open enrollment data published the week before last. 👇
My colleague @claireheyison.bsky.social asks some smart questions about Oklahoma's transition--today--from a federally-run ACA marketplace to a state-based marketplace (still operating on HealthCare.gov). ⬇️
My colleague @claireheyison.bsky.social unpacks a new analysis showing that marketplace enrollees are paying more and getting less following the expiration of PTC enhancements and implementation of parts of the republican megabill.
Republicans have identified yet *another* way to increase ACA marketplace premiums and make hundreds of thousands more people uninsured. "Funding CSRs" actually equates to higher premiums for many people *plus* more people becoming uninsured. My colleague @gidlukens.bsky.social explains. ⬇️
This report on 17 state-based ACA marketplaces confirms what we've been expecting: loss of PTC enhancements and higher premiums in 2026 is driving disenrollment and shifts to plans w/lower premiums but higher deductibles and cost sharing. statemarketplacenetwork.org/state-market...

#ACA marketplace signups are down, and many people are paying higher costs and getting skimpier coverage, according to new federal data. A major reason: Republicans in Congress and the Trump Administration let premium tax credit enhancements expire. www.cms.gov/files/docume...

When Marketplace enrollees filed their taxes this spring, they may not have realized it’d be the last year with key financial protections in place. Starting next year, they’ll face higher taxes due to the Republican megabill. www.cbpp.org/blog/marketp...

Yesterday, @DrOzCMS falsely claimed that the ACA marketplace is full of “phantom” enrollees, referencing a number presumably pulled from Paragon paper that repeats the same flawed and thoroughly debunked analysis as its previous iterations. tinyurl.com/5n6cz7da

Directly funding cost-sharing reductions (CSRs), as Republicans are apparently considering, would INCREASE out-of-pocket premiums for millions of #ACA marketplace enrollees, cut funding by tens of billions of $, and leave hundreds of thousands of ppl uninsured.
