New data from the Department of Health and Human Services show that millions of Americans have dropped health insurance coverage obtained through the Affordable Care Act. The department released the figures this week. No breakdown by state, age group, or reason for cancellation accompanied the total.
The Affordable Care Act established state and federal marketplaces that allow individuals to purchase private insurance with income-based subsidies. Enrollment in those plans reached record levels in prior years. Officials have not stated whether the decline stems from higher premiums, shifts to other coverage sources, or changes in subsidy rules.
