Nearly 24 Million Enroll in Obamacare, Marking 9% Increase in Final Enrollment Period

Jan 8, 2025, 11:20 AM

The Biden administration announced that nearly 24 million Americans enrolled in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) during the final enrollment period of his presidency, marking a 9% increase from the previous year. This record enrollment, reported just a week before the deadline, highlights the program's continued popularity. The surge in sign-ups is attributed to enhanced premium assistance, which is set to expire at the end of the year. The future of the ACA remains uncertain as President-elect Donald Trump and Republican majorities prepare to take office, raising questions about potential changes to the program.
