Record 20 Million Americans Sign Up for ACA Health Coverage for 2024

Surge in ACA Sign-ups Linked to Medicaid Disenrollment, Amid Concerns for Low-Income Americans

Over 20 million people have signed up for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplaces for 2024, setting a new record for the third consecutive year.
President Biden attributes this success to the administration's efforts in lowering costs and ensuring all Americans have access to quality, affordable health care.
The surge in ACA sign-ups is also linked to the disenrollment of more than 14 million people from state Medicaid programs following the official end of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Despite the record-breaking ACA sign-ups, concerns are raised about the millions of low-income Americans who have lost Medicaid coverage due to bureaucratic issues.
The open enrollment period for 2024 coverage ends on January 16, and people who have been removed from Medicaid may be eligible to enroll through the end of July.
