Today, the Biden-Harris Administration celebrated the 13th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) by highlighting record-breaking enrollment numbers during the 2023 Marketplace Open Enrollment Period and lower health care costs because of President Biden’s American Rescue Plan (ARP) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Since 2014, when HealthCare.gov was launched, enrollment has doubled from 8 million to more than 16 million.
Nearly 16.4 million consumers selected or were automatically re-enrolled in health insurance coverage through the Federally-facilitated Marketplace (FFM) and State-based Marketplaces (SBMs) during the 2023 open enrollment. Enrollment has increased year-over-year, with 1.8 million more consumers signing up for coverage during the 2023 open enrollment compared to the 2022 open enrollment, a 13% increase, and nearly 4.4 million more consumers signing up compared to the 2021 open enrollment, a 36% increase.
More information on applications and plan selections, including state-level premium savings from the ACA and ARP/IRA, are available in the 2023 Open Enrollment Report and a suite of accompanying public use files (PUFs). An additional PUF is available for FFM plan selections, including deductibles, Health Savings Account eligibility, and standardized plan option selection rates.
