Millions of Americans Lose Obamacare Coverage as Subsidies Expire and Costs Rise
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
In February, approximately 3 million fewer Americans had health insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) compared to the same time last year, according to federal data. The Department of Health and Human Services reported a 13% drop in enrollment, from 22.1 million in 2025 to 19.2 million this year. Analysts attribute this decline primarily to the expiration of federal subsidies on January 1, leading to increased costs that many could not afford. Experts predict that enrollment may continue to decrease, potentially dropping to around 17.5 million, as affordability remains a key concern for voters ahead of the November elections.
