2025: Baker Institute For Public Policy: The ACA Marketplace “Helped Significantly Reduce The Number Of Uninsured Texans.” “Twelve years of data show that the Affordable Care Act’s health insurance marketplace (marketplace) has helped significantly reduce the number of uninsured Texans. State and federal policy changes have helped more people in Texas obtain affordable health insurance coverage in the last four years.” [Baker Institute for Public Policy, 2/4/25]

About Half Of People On ACA Marketplace Plans Were Small Business Owners, Employees Of Small Businesses, Or Entrepreneurs

KFF: About Half Of Adults Under 65 Who Were Enrolled In Individual ACA Marketplace Coverage Were Small Business Owners, Employees At A Small Business, Or Self-Employed Entrepreneurs. “Much of the discussion about the ACA Marketplaces centers on individuals and families buying coverage on their own. However, many enrollees are connected to small businesses or are self-employed. […] Using data from the Current Population Survey (CPS) Annual Social and Economic Supplement, we estimate that 48% of adults under age 65 enrolled in individual market (direct purchase) coverage are either employed by a small business with fewer than 25 workers, self-employed entrepreneurs, or small business owners.” [KFF, 9/10/25]
