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 statistic shows the estimated impacts of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on health insurance coverage in the United States in 2014 and 2023. For 2023, it is estimated that there will be 13 million more individuals covered under Medicaid and CHIP. Medicaid is an optional plan for the United States. Enrollment for this plan is expected to increase after provisions from the Affordable Care Act that established an minimum eligibility threshold at 133 percent of the federal poverty level.

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.

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 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.

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.

16.4 million people signed up for Affordable Care Act (ACA) coverage in 2023, including 1.8 million new enrollees. This is made up of 12.2 million consumers using the federal Healthcare.gov platform, and an additional 4.2 million from state-based marketplaces. This record-breaking enrollment was driven by new marketplace subsidies passed by Congress in the American Rescue Plan, passed in 2021. The ACA created a federally run healthcare exchange which is used by 33 states as of 2022. States can also decide to run their own exchange - due to politics or practicality - of which there are 17 plus the District of Columbia.

This view presents a unique count of Affordable Care Act plans available by plan type in the State of Iowa in 2025. Plan types include Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) or Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO).

Objective: The Affordable Care Act’s marketplaces present an important opportunity for expanding coverage but consumers face enormous challenges in navigating through enrollment and re-enrollment. We tested the effectiveness of a behaviorally informed policy tool—plan recommendations—in improving marketplace decisions. Study Setting: Data were gathered from a community sample of 656 lower-income, minority, rural residents of Virginia. Study Design: We conducted an incentive-compatible, computer-based experiment using a hypothetical marketplace like the one consumers face in the federally-facilitated marketplaces, and examined their decision quality. Participants were randomly assigned to a control condition or three types of plan recommendations: social normative, physician, and government. For participants randomized to a plan recommendation condition, the plan that maximized expected earnings, and minimized total expected annual health care costs, was recommended. Data Collection: Pri...

According to a survey in the U.S. conducted in October 2020, the majority of adults opposed overturning the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), ten years after its induction. The results were extremely partisan with nine in ten Democrats opposing an overturn, while nearly eight in ten Republicans favored overturning the ACA. However, a large majority of all U.S. adults opposed overturning the ACA's protections for people with pre-existing conditions, regardless of their party affiliation. This statistic presents the public support and opposition for overturning the Affordable Care Act (ACA/Obamacare) in the U.S. in 2020, by party affiliation.
