Obamacare enrollment doubled under Biden as battle over subsidies begins

Published



The Biden-Harris administration announced Wednesday that 24 million people signed up for an Obamacare exchange plan during the 2025 open enrollment period, a record high as subsidies that expanded this health insurance coverage are poised to expire at the end of the calendar year.

“We have once again set a record when it comes to ensuring access to affordable, quality health care: nearly 24 million Americans have signed up for Affordable Care Act coverage,” President Joe Biden said in a statement Wednesday. “That means that enrollment has nearly doubled since I took office. That’s no coincidence.”
