Millions dropped ObamaCare plans after subsidies ended [View all]

About four million Americans have dropped out of Affordable Care Act insurance coverage this year as costs soared due to the loss of enhanced subsidies.

The loss of those subsidies spiked many people’s premiums by double digits; the new coverage numbers likely reflect the sticker shock Americans experienced.

Unable to pay, they dropped their coverage.

The report from the health and human services assistant secretary for planning and evaluation said that an estimated 19.2 million people are enrolled in ACA plans as of February.

I am surprised that that many people are still on the ACA. It has shown surprising resilience.
