KFF analysis projects 5 million enrollment decline in ACA marketplace

Healthcare research nonprofit KFF released an analysis projecting ACA marketplace enrollment could drop by nearly 5 million people in 2025, representing a decline from 22.3 million to approximately 17.5 million participants. The analysis attributes the decline to the expiration of enhanced premium tax credits on January 1, 2025, and notes that remaining enrollees face higher costs, including average deductible increases of $1,000 and monthly premium rises of $65.
