The Spotlight Is on Medicaid Cuts, But the ACA Marketplaces Could See a One-Third Cut in Enrollment
In his latest column, President and CEO Drew Altman shows how proposals contained in the House reconciliation bill could result in a one-third reduction in ACA Marketplace enrollment. “While all eyes are on the big Medicaid cuts being proposed in the House,” he writes, “significant changes are also being proposed that together would dramatically reduce enrollment in the ACA Marketplaces.”
How the House Reconciliation Bill Could Expose ACA Marketplace Enrollees with Unpredictable Incomes to Higher Penalties
KFF’s analysis illustrates how provisions included in the House budget reconciliation bill could expose Marketplace enrollees with unpredictable incomes to higher penalties when filing taxes if they underestimate their incomes. When signing up for Marketplace coverage under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), most enrollees estimate their income for the year, which determines the size of the premium tax credits they receive to make coverage more affordable.
