Enrollment in health coverage through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplaces now exceeds 24 million people, a dramatic increase in recent years fueled largely by improved premium assistance, which has started in 2021 under the American Rescue Plan Act and extended through 2025 under Inflation. Reduction Act. But with the subsidies set to expire at the end of this year, Congress and the Trump administration will face the choice of whether and how to extend them, alongside a broader debate over the budget. Key questions for the future of the ACA include the costs and benefits of the subsidies, the consequences for enrollees and markets if it expires, and what other changes the Trump administration and Congress could make.
