Increased subsidies from the American Rescue Plan and Inflation Reduction Act mean 4 in 5 customers can purchase plans under $10, according to HHS estimates.

Kaiser Family Foundation researchers wrote many uninsured people do not shop for plans, because they assume the cost will be unaffordable. In 2021, 28 million Americans had no form of health insurance. 

ACA open enrollment closes on Jan. 15.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 2–3 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration.
