“Payers have few tools to control costs in our system, and prior authorization is one of them,” writes KFF’s Drew Altman. “But with such profound public angst about it, it’s time to ask if it’s worth the tradeoffs.” on.kff.org/4bscQB0

There were 24 million ACA marketplace enrollees last year, and for most of them, their health care costs are way up due to the expiration of the enhanced premium subsidies. In a close race in a House district, these voters could be a deciding factor.

While majorities of partisans place “a lot” of blame on lawmakers from the opposite party, independents with Marketplace coverage are more likely to say Congressional Republicans (56%) and President Trump (58%) deserve “a lot” of blame than Congressional Democrats (28%). on.kff.org/3NKfN84

About 1 in 10 Marketplace enrollees dropped their ACA coverage and are now uninsured and nearly 3 in 10 changed Marketplace plans, our latest survey shows. When asked about what influenced their decision, most say their plan being too expensive was a “major reason.” on.kff.org/3NKfN84

Simplest math ever. A 200 bill Iran war special appropriation = almost six years of extended ACA tax credits.

“The impacts on Marketplace enrollees we see in this follow-up survey will likely get worse as people struggle to make payments and the grace period many have expires,” KFF President and CEO @DrewAltman said. Read more from our latest survey: on.kff.org/3NKfN84

With limited federal data available so far, our follow-up survey of ACA enrollees is the best information on how much more people are paying with enhanced tax credits expired, how many are switching to higher deductible plans, and how many are uninsured. kff.org/public-opinion…

A majority of those who re-enrolled in an ACA Marketplace plan say they have cut or plan to cut spending on food or other basic household expenses to afford their health care costs. The impact is even greater for those with chronic health conditions: on.kff.org/3NKfN84

Impacts of the enhanced premium tax credit expiration are beginning to show - NINE PERCENT of people who had ACA coverage in 2025 are uninsured now. Many were faced with zero affordable insurance options. Only 39% stayed enrolled in the same ACA plan (61% made changes!). @KFF

We re-surveyed Marketplace enrollees who shared their expectations for coverage decisions late last year. Our latest findings show that nearly 1 in 6 returning ACA Marketplace enrollees say they’re not confident they’ll be able to afford their premiums this entire year. on.kff.org/3NKfN84

Our new follow-up survey of ACA enrollees as enhanced tax credits expire finds they’re paying more for health care and cutting back on household spending. Nine percent are already uninsured, and that number is sure to grow.

NEW. Marketplace enrollees are dropping coverage and switching to higher deductible plans, but the biggest effect of not extending the credits: more than half say they can’t afford food and other essentials because they have higher health costs. on.kff.org/3NKfN84

NEW: A follow-up survey of the same Marketplace enrollees KFF surveyed in 2025 finds half (51%) of returning enrollees say their health care costs are “a lot higher” this year compared to last year. This includes 4 in 10 who specifically say this about their premiums. on.kff.org/3NKfN84
