Washington – Today, Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-04) applauded the Biden-Harris Administration for its record-breaking work expanding health care coverage for Americans.
“A record 24 million Americans have enrolled in health care coverage through the Affordable Care Act since November,” said Thompson. “More people have health insurance today than ever in our nation’s history. Thanks to President Biden and Vice President Harris’ leadership, the number of Americans enrolled in health care coverage through the ACA has nearly doubled over the last four years.
“I remain committed to building on this progress, starting with extending the ACA premium tax credit this year and extending my legislation providing telehealth access to Medicare beneficiaries. Extending the tax credit is especially critical. If Congress does not extend it, 28,000 residents in our district will face an average of $1,279 more in annual premiums.”
BACKGROUND
The Biden-Harris Administration has set another all-time record for ACA Marketplace enrollment, with nearly 24 million Americans signing up for coverage with one week left in the 2025 Open Enrollment Period.
A total of 45 million Americans have coverage through the ACA, either through the Marketplace or Medicaid expansion.
Today’s milestone builds upon a remarkable record of success over the last four years. More Americans have health insurance than ever before, with the uninsured rate at record lows. The Biden-Harris Administration has set a new all-time record for ACA Marketplace enrollment every year since the President and Vice President took office.
