Of those 14.5 million enrollees, 10 million used healthcare.gov to find coverage, according to a White House statement. 

On average, families enrolled in ACA coverage saved $2,400 on annual premiums. About 80 percent of consumers also found plans for less than $10 a month. 

According to the White House, the record-setting figures “did not happen by accident,” crediting the American Rescue Plan’s provisions that expanded eligibility and lowered costs of coverage.

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.
