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 previous year, according to new federal data. The report from the Department of Health and Human Services noted a 13% drop in enrollment, from 22.1 million in 2025 to 19.2 million this year. Analysts attribute this decline to the expiration of federal subsidies on January 1, which led to increased costs and made premiums unaffordable for many. Experts predict that enrollment may continue to decrease throughout the year, potentially dropping to around 17.5 million, impacting workers without employer-sponsored coverage.
