The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is a federal statute enacted with a goal of increasing the quality and affordability of health insurance. Through a web service, CMS sends applicant information to SSA. SSA matches applicant data to various SSA data sources and provides a response back to CMS, based on the results of the matches. The results of these matches help CMS and states determine an applicant's eligibility and cost for health insurance. SSA provides results to CMS for matches of SSN, Name, and DOB against the Numident. SSA may also provide incarceration data from PUPS, Title II income from the MBR, and quarters of coverage data from the MEF.

This dataset provides sample premium information for individual ACA-compliant health insurance plans available to Iowans for 2025 within Silver, Bronze and Gold metal levels for each county. The premiums provided in the dataset for each plan are for informational purposes only. Plan choices under the Affordable Care Act fall into different categories or metal levels, i.e., bronze (60%), silver (70%), gold (80%), platinum (90%), and catastrophic (less than 60% -- generally limited to those under the age of 30). A silver plan (on average) would be expected to pay around 70% of healthcare expenses for a standard population. The individual, therefore, would pay about 30%. This dataset does not include platinum or catastrophic. On or after November 1, 2024, please go to www.healthcare.gov to view available plans.

As of March 2023, 62 percent of the respondents had a favorable opinion on the health reform, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) otherwise know as Obamacare, highest share in the provided time interval. Opinions about the ACA

Favorability for the health reform law in the United States has fluctuated since 2010 till 2017. In April 2010, 46 percent of U.S. adults had a favorable opinion regarding the ACA, while 45 percent said the same six years later in October 2016. As expected, Republicans tended to consider the ACA as unfavorable while Democrats were more likely to favor the bill. However, after 2017 the share of U.S. who favor the ACA has steadily increased and is steadily above those who view it unfavorably.

The ACA had a major goal, to expand health care coverage. This bill prevents health plans from limiting or denying coverage to children with pre-existing conditions, arbitrarily withdrawing insurance coverage, and implementing lifetime limits on coverage. The ACA is expected to reduce the number of uninsured individuals by 25 million people by 2023. Those who view the ACA favorably usually reason that the bill will increase health care and insurance access, while the opposition often mentions that the health costs may increase and that the law is too expensive.

ImportanceThe Affordable Care Act (ACA) has expanded access to health insurance for millions of Americans, but the impact of Medicaid expansion on healthcare delivery and utilization remains uncertain.ObjectiveTo determine the early impact of the Medicaid expansion component of ACA on hospital and ED utilization in California, a state that implemented the Medicaid expansion component of ACA and Florida, a state that did not.DesignAnalyze all ED encounters and hospitalizations in California and Florida from 2009 to 2014 and evaluate trends by payer and diagnostic category. Data were collected from State Inpatient Databases, State Emergency Department Databases and the California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development.SettingHospital and ED encounters.ParticipantsPopulation-based study of California and Florida state residents.ExposureImplementation of Medicaid expansion component of ACA in California in 2014.Main outcomes or measuresChanges in ED visits and hospitalizations by payer, percentage of patients hospitalized after an ED encounter, top diagnostic categories for ED and hospital encounters.ResultsIn California, Medicaid ED visits increased 33% after Medicaid expansion implementation and self-pay visits decreased by 25% compared with a 5.7% increase in the rate of Medicaid patient ED visits and a 5.1% decrease in rate of self-pay patient visits in Florida. In addition, California experienced a 15.4% increase in Medicaid inpatient stays and a 25% decrease in self pay stays. Trends in the percentage of patients admitted to the hospital from the ED were notable; a 5.4% decrease in hospital admissions originating from the ED in California, and a 2.1% decrease in Florida from 2013 to 2014.Conclusions and relevanceWe observed a significant shift in payer for ED visits and hospitalizations after Medicaid expansion in California without a significant change in top diagnoses or overall rate of these ED visits and hospitalizations. There appears to be a shift in reimbursement burden from patients and hospitals to the government without a dramatic shift in patterns of ED or hospital utilization.

Under the Affordable Care Act, individual states have discretion in how they define coverage regions, within which insurers must charge the same premium to buyers of the same age, family structure, and smoking status. We exploit variation in these definitions to investigate whether the size of the coverage region affects outcomes in the ACA marketplaces. We find large consequences for small and rural markets. When states combine small counties with neighboring urban areas into a single region, the included rural markets see 0.6 to 0.8 more active insurers, on average, and savings in annual premiums of between $200 and $300.

As of 2024, roughly 45 million individuals in the U.S. benefited from the Affordable Care Act and were enrolled in some form of ACA-related health insurance. This figure has increased from 12.6 million in 2014, the year ACA took effect. Since then, there has been an increase in the number of people who have become eligible for free or subsidized health care. Individuals can now enroll in ACA Marketplace and be eligible for premium tax credits, they may have become newly-eligible for Medicaid in states that have expanded Medicaid, or were previously eligible but didn't know or were unable to apply. Moreover, some states have introduced the Basic Health Program to provide continuous coverage for low-income individuals whose income fluctuates above and below Medicaid eligibility. This statistic portrays the number of Affordable Care Act-related (ACA) enrollments in the Marketplace, Medicaid, and the Basic Health Program (BHP) in the U.S. from 2014 to 2024.

This is a Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality (CBHSQ) short report examining lack of insurance rates among individuals with a behavioral health disorder in states that expanded Medicaid eligibility, did not expand Medicaid eligibility, and are undecided. It uses 2009-2013 data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH).

This data spotlight uses 2009 to 2011 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) to estimate the number of people without insurance who are likely to use behavioral health services after they become insured under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) extended dependent care coverage to all individuals under age 26. The coverage expansion in 2010 likely caused an increase in private insurance coverage and mental health treatment use for young adults. For mental health and substance use treatment, changes in who pays for care can be evaluated using the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS). Annual data from 2004 to 2012 were used to determine the average treatment payments by payer type before and after the dependent care expansion for all individuals aged 19-26 who reported treatment for mental health or substance use issues. Costs are presented in this spotlight.

With the Affordable Care Act being upheld, the number of uninsured Americans is estimated to decline by 33 million from 2012 to 2022, as projected by the Congressional Budget Office. The number of uninsured population would be at 27 million Americans as opposed to currently 60 million.
