But health analysts said it was more likely related to the Jan. 1\u00a0expiration of federal subsidies, which caused a surge in plan costs that resulted in many people being unable to pay their premiums.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/?p=2401\">It\u2019s so hot in Germany the Autobahn literally burst open at the seams and had to be closed down<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that real people lost their health insurance coverage,\u201d said Cynthia Cox, a vice president and director of the ACA program at the healthcare research nonprofit KFF, citing survey findings on people who had left their plans. \u201cThis coverage loss happened at the same time millions of people faced double or even triple digit increases in their premium payments.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The new data, compiled in April but showing coverage in February, represents the government\u2019s first official look at how people\u2019s inability to pay their first bills this year affected total enrollment. That is because the figures capture the marketplace after a nonpayment grace period expired.<\/p>\n<p>A\u00a0federal estimate in January\u00a0showed that about 800,000 fewer people had signed up for ACA plans compared with the same time last year, marking the first time in the past four years that enrollment had been down from the previous year at that point in the shopping window.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/?p=2399\">Apple seeks U.S. approval to buy chips from blacklisted CXMT: FT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cox said KFF expects the total number of people in the government healthcare program to\u00a0continue to decline\u00a0throughout the year, potentially to a low of about 17.5 million. That would be a significant drop for the government\u2019s flagship subsidized health insurance program for working-age people who do not qualify for Medicaid. In recent years, ACA plans have become a popular choice for gig workers, farmers, ranchers, hairstylists and others without health coverage through an employer.<\/p>\n<p>The ACA subsidies that expired this year were at the center of a bitter fight in Congress last fall, with Democrats and some Republicans calling for their renewal. Sharp increases in health costs across ACA and other health insurance programs come as voters in the approaching November elections say affordability is among their top concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/?p=2397\">Amazon Prime Day total online spending surpasses Adobe estimate<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KFF expects the total number of people in the government healthcare program to\u00a0continue to decline\u00a0throughout the year, potentially to a low of about 17.5 million from 19.2 million now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2402,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health-insurance"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
