The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) reports that, as of January 15, 2025, 24.2 million consumers selected plan year 2025 coverage through the Marketplaces during the 2025 Marketplace Open Enrollment Period, including 3.9 million new consumers.
Thanks to the Biden-Harris Administration, consumers had greater plan choices for 2025, as well as other important supports. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, for example, means many middle-income people and families who were previously ineligible for financial assistance have access to lower premiums after tax credits, and many modest-income Americans now have more help paying for premiums. Because of the enhanced and expanded tax credits, four out of five HealthCare.gov consumers could find a plan for $10 or less per month. The enhanced tax credits remain available through 2025 but are set to expire in 2026 without Congressional action.
The table below represents activity from November 1 through January 15, 2025, for Federally Facilitated Marketplace (FFM) states and State-based Marketplaces on the Federal Platform (SBM-FP) and through January 11th, 2025, for State-based Marketplace (SBM) plans.
